The Design

About ERC Cafe Design intérieur de café

Le ERC Cafe est un projet d'aménagement intérieur de café déployé sur 218 mètres carrés répartis sur deux niveaux. Le plan comprend une entrée principale, un comptoir, une cuisine et des espaces d'assise avec canapés, tabourets de bar, une table conviviale et des tables basses classiques. La brique rouge, la ferronnerie, la pierre polie, le verre, le bois et la peinture minérale confèrent à l'espace un caractère de loft. Le textile est découpé en segments et suspendu au plafond en forme d'arches, ce qui adoucit les surfaces dures tout en diffusant la lumière et l'air. L'entrée en double hauteur et les baies vitrées toute hauteur ouvrent l'intérieur sur la rue et évoquent une serre.

Production Technology: Fabric, Metal Work, Vintage Red Tiles, Grinding Stone, Glass, Timber, Mineral Paint
Design Challenge: As much fabric was used in the space, on one hand, the replacement of fabric in maintenance shall be considered, and on the other hand, the fabric shall be hung in seemingly effortless fashion so as to articulate the envisaged arch shape, which also led to its installation technique that was also challenging.
Research: In echoing with the unique styling of the architectural form of the building, as well as the tree plantation on the street, the spatial planning anchored on theme of infusion into the building while accentuating the serenity of cafe. In material selection, the solid and robust metal work was complemented by soft and translucent fabric material, as well as by the authentic red brick wall, for a balanced spatial quality.
In referencing the formal vocabulary of greenhouse arch, fabric was cut into segments and hung from the ceiling as light and air diffuser, as well as serving as spatial demarcation in an ever changing forest environment.
Inspiration: As this Cafe must echo the creative aspiration of Infusion of red brick wall and plant, as well as new visuals, as requested by the client, along with its corner location and curtain wall glass windows, the design of the overall space was anchored on a greenhouse filled with trees, wind, light, i.e. a domain of enriched dynamic visual experiences.
Project Duration: The project was finished in February, 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In terms of spatial layout, it was about expanding the double ceiling height area at the building entrance, which increased the vertical spatial connection with transparent spatial quality, and the kitchen was moved to the same side as the counter so as to create a more functional and flowing working circulation, as the original kitchen was designated as a shared seating area with unobstructed window view out.
