About GRND Coffee Primary Function: نەخشەسازیی ناوەوەی کافێ

Book Text: قاوەخانەی GRND نەخشەسازییەکی ناوەوەی کافێیە کە لە ناو بۆشاییەکی ٣٠ مەتر چوارگۆشەدا دیزاین کراوە. بینا کۆنەکە دیوارە دابەشکەرەکانی لاوازن، بۆیە پێکهاتەیەکی پۆڵایینی جیاواز زیادکرا تاکو وەک پۆشاک کار بکات. پۆشاکەکە بە دار بەڕووی بە شێوازی ناوکی ماسی و دابەشکەرەکانی برۆنز تەواو کراوە. جیاکەرەوەکانی برۆنز هەمان نەخشە لە زەمینی تێراتزۆی سافکراودا دووبارە دەکەنەوە. ڕووکارە مەڕمەڕەکان و دانانی برۆنزی سافکراو لەگەڵ توخمە پیشەسازییەکاندا تێکەڵ کراون. لە جیاتی مێز و کورسیی ئاسایی، ڕیزێک لە کورسیە ڕووپۆشکراوەکان بەدرێژایی یەک دیوار درێژ دەبنەوە. مێزە بچووک و سووکەکان دەتوانرێن بجوڵێنرێن بۆ ئەوەی گونجاو بن لەگەڵ هەر میوانێکدا.

Unique Properties: In order to separate the cafe from the old building weak wall structure, we created a separate steel structure works as an envelope finished with oak wood in a herringbone pattern with brass dividers, echoed by brass spacers in the polished terrazzo floor. To maximize the 30 square metre space, rather than tables and chairs, we provided a row of upholstered benches along one wall accompanied by small, lightweight tables that can be easily moved to suit patrons’ needs.
Dimensions & Packaging: 30 square metre space, Marble surfaces and polished brass inserts meld with industrial elements, oak wood in a herringbone pattern with brass dividers, echoed by brass spacers in the polished terrazzo floor.
