About The Larks Cafe Kahvilatila

Kahvila The Larks on iloinen tila tietoiselle yhteisölle, joka arvostaa vapautta, vilpittömyyttä ja elämänmakua. Kahvilan tilat sijaitsevat modernissa Podil Plaza -asuinkompleksissa Kiovassa, Ukrainassa, ja kahvila tarjoilee herkullisia aamiaisia koko päivän tuoksuvine leipineen ja croissanteineen. Sisustuskonseptilla on useita keskeisiä elementtejä: pastellisävyt, graafinen ilme rakenteellisissa elementeissä, pyöristetyt muodot kalusteissa sekä kaarien käyttö. Inspiraatio syntyi tilan nimestä: kiuru on lintu, joka symboloi toivoa, valoa ja iloa.

Production Technology: The design concept was to harmoniously place the technology zone and the landing zone for guests, and all this on a limited space of 50 m2. The project of this format required enormous energy and creativity, so as the making of the most exquisite dessert.

The main criteria in the technical design plan was to withstand all the necessary standards - ventilation, insolation, high strength of coatings and environmental friendliness of materials. Therefore, such types of finishes as microcement, self-leveling floor, decorative plaster, tiles and mirrors were chosen.
Design Challenge: A mixture of such modern trends complements the space as: metals (stainless steel), rounded shapes (arches), float glass and a bright ceiling (caramel), light asceticism (nothing superfluous, no decor).
Research: Entering this cafe, you immerse yourself in an atmosphere of freedom and sunny space. There you feel like you belong, in a big city, where everything is created for rest and relaxation.
Inspiration: The design style concept has several key standing points: pastel shades, graphic in the structural elements, rounded shapes for the furniture and usage of arches. The inspiration came from the name of the space – The Larks Café, a bird which symbolises the hope, light, and joy. Also the lark is “the highest form of human existence” (according to the Ukrainian philosopher Grigoriy Skovoroda).
Project Duration: Location - Kyiv, Ukraine
Duration - 6 months
Operation Flow: The key colors chosen were shades of caramel and pistachio, combining the colors of sand and gray, which brought everything together into a single composition. The textures of natural materials of concrete, wood and glass gave these interiors naturalness and light, a feeling of purity and lightness of space. The space is complemented by a mixture of such modern trends as: metals (stainless steel), rounded shapes (arches), float glass and a bright ceiling (caramel), light asceticism (nothing superfluous, no decor).
