The Design

About Beans Design intérieur de café

Beans est un café-restaurant situé à Ma On Shan, à Hong Kong, qui propose cafés, desserts et repas légers. L'espace intérieur, d'une superficie de 2263 pieds carrés, est dépourvu de fenêtres : le projet adopte donc la forme d'une grotte de cristal. Les surfaces réfléchissantes et un éclairage chaleureux illuminent le lieu et atténuent la sensation d'enfermement. Une surface ondulante en acier inoxydable dessine un lac près du plafond de l'entrée, tandis que d'étroites formations rocheuses sont réalisées par impression tridimensionnelle. Un arbre se dresse au centre et s'élève vers la lumière. Le comptoir à desserts est placé près de l'entrée afin de faciliter les commandes.
