The Design

About Cups Kamakura Diseño interior de cafetería y hotel

Cups Kamakura es un proyecto de diseño interior para un café restaurante que también funciona como hotel. El edificio se orienta hacia el océano en Kamakura, Japón, y el diseño se inspira en imágenes del agua. Se crearon gráficos basados en el agua que se aplicaron a los espacios del café y del hotel mediante un trabajo cuidadoso sobre el equilibrio cromático, el reflejo de la luz solar y la selección de materiales. El edificio tiene más de 50 años, por lo que se retiraron los paneles del techo para dejar a la vista la estructura original de madera. La madera se acabó con laca transparente brillante y se añadieron nuevos soportes de acero.
