The Design

About Beans Desain Interior Kafe

Beans adalah kafe sekaligus restoran di Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, yang menyajikan kopi, hidangan penutup, dan santapan ringan. Interiornya seluas 2.263 kaki persegi dan tidak memiliki jendela, sehingga rancangannya mengambil bentuk sebuah gua kristal. Permukaan reflektif dan pencahayaan hangat mencerahkan ruang serta mengurangi kesan tertutup. Permukaan baja tahan karat yang bergelombang membentuk sebuah danau di dekat plafon pintu masuk, dan bebatuan ramping dibuat dengan pencetakan tiga dimensi. Sebatang pohon berdiri di tengah ruang dan tumbuh ke arah cahaya. Bar hidangan penutup ditempatkan di dekat pintu masuk untuk memudahkan pemesanan.
