About Perception Cafe

Kafe aran kayu sing anget cilik iki ana ing pojokan dalan ing lingkungan sing sepi. Zona persiapan terbuka terpusat nggawe pengalaman barista sing resik lan ekstensif kanggo pengunjung ing endi wae kursi kursi utawa kursi meja ing cafe. Obyek langit-langit sing diarani "Wit shading" diwiwiti saka sisih mburi zona persiyapan, lan nutupi zona pelanggan kanggo nggawe swasana cafe iki. Iki menehi efek spasial sing ora biasa kanggo pengunjung lan uga dadi media kanggo wong sing pengin ilang pikirane nganggo kopi rasa.

Production Technology
Among the elements of interior design, this ceiling object has prepared by digital fabrication technology. The initial digital volume was manipulated and evaluated in a virtual space to get higher acoustic performance. Then the quantity of material and construction method had determined. We also have calculated the optimized load point to mount over half-ton of plywood on the ceiling.
Design Challenge
Even if the evaluated digital volume of the ceiling gives more dynamic and functional form, we needed to manipulate some areas to get clearance height. And we have developed custom ceiling joints and details from the computational analysis that shows this ceiling object feels safe and light.
Research
After the decision to make a "Shading tree" as a medium of norms to create and convert people's experiences in the cafe, we focused on the language of construction. Digital fabrication and parametric design often give a futuristic, unfriendly feeling. But we needed to make sure that technology means not a futuristic design. In other words, when it converts materials to the immaterial thing, we could get a more warm and friendly mood from cutting-edge construction technology.
Inspiration
As a branding and interior designer of this retail project, the brand name of the cafe "Perception" gave strict inspiration to us. People usually feel something through their past experiences, which means very personal and private. Have you thought about that other people think or feel just the same as you had? We believed that this question is valuable to deal with this project. Then we started to touch the norms of feeling at the cafe.
Project Duration
The project started in December 2018 and finished in April 2019 in Seoul, South Korea.
Operation Flow
The client just wanted a cozy and comfort place to neighbors who visit, but we start to develop a concept that can show spatial advantages to both barista and customers. Because we believe the spatial atmosphere comes from not only the physical things but also the human. Then we suggested a centralized preparation zone with a medium that can make focus on the barista and give comforts to customers. Then I gave the question to the client. "Have you imagine that speaker or creatures under the big shading tree?"
