The Design
About The Cross Diseño interior de cafetería
The Cross es una cafetería y espacio cultural ubicado en un sótano en Taiwán. El diseño transforma un área tenue, con escasa luz natural, en un animado lugar de encuentro de 1200 metros cuadrados. Muros multimedia de LED a todo color recorren las superficies interiores y permiten experiencias visuales interactivas. La barra está construida con ladrillos de vidrio e iluminación LED programable. Los revestimientos de acero inoxidable y espejo reducen el peso visual de las vigas y columnas estructurales. La distribución de planta abierta y la zonificación flexible acogen exposiciones, música en vivo y eventos comunitarios.

- Production Technology
- The design utilized advanced materials such as led media walls and glass bricks for the bar counter. The led walls were employed to create a dynamic multimedia environment, while glass bricks were chosen for their versatility in the bar counter. Stainless steel cladding was used to reduce the visual heaviness of structural beams and columns. These materials were selected for their aesthetic value and their ability to meet the project's technological and structural demands.
- Design Challenge
- The greatest challenge was the transformation of a dim, underutilized basement space into a vibrant, multi-functional cultural hub. The design had to address the lack of natural light while preserving the building's structural integrity. External factors, such as existing piping systems and large structural beams, required innovative design solutions, like using stainless steel and mirrored cladding to enhance spatial perception.
- Research
- This project focused on transforming a dim basement into a vibrant cultural venue using multimedia elements like LED walls. The research aimed to enhance the space's visual impact and community engagement. Design trials and expert consultations were conducted, leading to a successful integration of technology, which revitalized the space and fostered a dynamic cultural atmosphere.
- Inspiration
- The inspiration stemmed from the challenge of transforming a basement with limited natural light into a lively cultural space. The concept focused on creating an immersive environment through interactive led media walls and dynamic lighting, effectively bringing the space to life with technology and vibrant visual energy.
- Project Duration
- The project started in October 2024 and finished in August 2025 in Taiwan, China.
- Operation Flow
- The space is designed for flexible zoning and multi-functional use. The LED media walls allow for interactive visual experiences, while the open-plan layout facilitates a seamless flow between various activities. The bar counter, with its programmable LED lighting, serves as a focal point, creating a dynamic space for social interaction, exhibitions, and performances.
