The Design

About Clinic Co Café

Clinic Co est un café et le siège social d'une marque situé à Ankara, en Turquie. Le projet s'étend sur 260 mètres carrés répartis sur deux niveaux et se divise en un bar à café, une terrasse et un espace de travail. Le bar à café regroupe une station d'infusion, un comptoir à espresso et un comptoir de pâtisserie. Des carreaux de terrazzo fabriqués à la main habillent les sols ainsi que le revêtement extérieur, tandis que le comptoir du bar est réalisé en acrylique. Des surfaces opaques et vitrées sont associées afin de faire pénétrer la lumière naturelle jusqu'au cœur de l'intérieur. L'entrée a été abaissée au niveau de la rue pour ordonner le flux des clients et ouvrir l'espace aux passants.

Production Technology: Handmade terrazzo tiles have been used for floors and exterior cladding. The C bench was cast on-site with a molding technique. The bar counter is made of LG Hausys acrylic material. The mold was bent by heat treatment after manufacturing. The stairs to the first floor were bent from 10mm sheet metal, manufactured as one piece and placed with the help of a crane. The transparent divider screens were manufactured from a 40 mm facade polycarbonate panel.
Design Challenge: The fact that the bar area used to be 1 meter above street level, in the old structure of the venue, was a negative situation for the customers of the venue and this brand, which has a fast circulation. It was not easy to lower the entrance level to zero on a heavily trafficked street. The challenging factor for the designer was to consider the horizontal width of the architectural structure as a whole and to offer transparency to the people passing by.
Research: With the design of the second branch of the brand, the main goals are to increase brand awareness and brand perception, reach new audiences and expand the customer age group from 25 to 45 into an age range from 15 to 45. The interior of the building has been completely demolished and rebuilt with an ergonomic layout. The transparency of the exterior design has been combined with the interior design elements. The project brought coffee making to the forefront and increased brand awareness on a traffic-filled street.
Inspiration: The project is inspired by simplicity and transparency. The designer has developed a refined and minimalist space design in line with the brand's philosophy. A wide, horizontal and unusual architectural structure has been created. Sculptural opaque and glass mixed materials have been used to bring daylight deep into the interior. The view of queuing, ordering and sitting has been meshed with strong energy by combining it with the outside.
Project Duration: The project started in January 2020 and it finished in June 2020. It is located in Ankara, Turkey.
Operation Flow: The project is divided into three parts Coffee Bar, terrace and work area. The entrance details and the bar layout have been designed to regulate and put the customer traffic in order. The Coffee Bar itself is also divided into three parts: Brewing Station, Espresso Bar and Pastry Bar. The C bench in the work area has been specially designed for periodically organized coffee workshops.
