About Cups Kamakura Kafetegi eta Hotel Barne Diseinua

Cups Kamakura hotel gisa ere funtzionatzen duen kafetegi-jatetxe baten barne diseinua da. Eraikina Japoniako Kamakuran dago, ozeanoari begira, eta diseinuak uraren irudietan du inspirazioa. Uran oinarritutako grafikoak sortu ziren eta kafetegiko eta hoteleko espazioetara aplikatu ziren, kolore-oreka, eguzki-argiaren islapena eta materialen aukeraketa arretaz landuz. Eraikinak 50 urte baino gehiago ditu, beraz, sabaiko panelak kendu ziren jatorrizko egitura egurrezkoa agerian uzteko. Egurra lakre distiratsu garden batez akabatu zen eta altzairuzko euskarri berriak gehitu ziren.
