About ERC Cafe Interna Dezajno de Kafejo

ERC Cafe estas interna dezajno de kafejo kovranta 218 kvadratajn metrojn sur du niveloj. La aranĝo inkluzivas antaŭan enirejon, vendotablon, kuirejon kaj sidareojn kun sofoj, drinkejaj seĝoj, komunuma tablo kaj normalaj kaftabloj. Ruĝa briko, metallaboraĵo, muelŝtono, vitro, ligno kaj minerala farbo donas al la spaco subtegmentan karakteron. Ŝtofo estas tranĉita en segmentojn kaj pendigita de la plafono en arkaj formoj, kiuj moligas la malmolajn surfacojn kaj disvastigas lumon kaj aeron. La duoble alta enirejo kaj la plenaltaj fenestroj malfermas la internon al la strato kaj memorigas pri forcejo.

As the design team believed that this cafe has a wide range of consumer segments which warranted a free flowing and soft texture fabric to soften up such rustic and hard spatiality with a feminine touch.

Design Challenge: As much fabric was used in the space, on one hand, the replacement of fabric in maintenance shall be considered, and on the other hand, the fabric shall be hung in seemingly effortless fashion so as to articulate the envisaged arch shape, which also led to its installation technique that was also challenging.
Research: In echoing with the unique styling of the architectural form of the building, as well as the tree plantation on the street, the spatial planning anchored on theme of infusion into the building while accentuating the serenity of cafe. In material selection, the solid and robust metal work was complemented by soft and translucent fabric material, as well as by the authentic red brick wall, for a balanced spatial quality.
In referencing the formal vocabulary of greenhouse arch, fabric was cut into segments and hung from the ceiling as light and air diffuser, as well as serving as spatial demarcation in an ever changing forest environment.
Inspiration: As this Cafe must echo the creative aspiration of Infusion of red brick wall and plant, as well as new visuals, as requested by the client, along with its corner location and curtain wall glass windows, the design of the overall space was anchored on a greenhouse filled with trees, wind, light, i.e. a domain of enriched dynamic visual experiences.
Project Duration: The project was finished in February, 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In terms of spatial layout, it was about expanding the double ceiling height area at the building entrance, which increased the vertical spatial connection with transparent spatial quality, and the kitchen was moved to the same side as the counter so as to create a more functional and flowing working circulation, as the original kitchen was designated as a shared seating area with unobstructed window view out.
