About Beans Primärfunktioun: Café Innenaarchitektur

Beans ass e Café a Restaurant zu Ma On Shan, Hong Kong, dee Kaffi, Desserten a liicht Iesse servéiert. D'Interieur deckt 2263 Quadratmeter of an huet keng Fënsteren, sou datt den Design d'Form vun enger Kristallhiel unhëlt. Reflektéierend Uewerflächen a waarmt Liicht erhellen de Raum a reduzéieren d'Gefill vun der Verschlossenheet. Eng wiewend Iewerfläch aus Edelstol bilt e Séi no bei der Entréesdaach, an schmuel Fielsen ginn duerch dreidimensionaalt Drécken hiergestallt. E Bam steet an der Mëtt a wiisst Richtung Liicht. D'Dessertbar ass no bei der Entrée plazéiert fir d'Bestelle méi einfach ze maachen.

Production Technology: Designer creates a lake in front of the entrance ceiling with waving stainless steal surface, some narrow gull rocks are produced by 3D printing. The rocks are not identical to stimulate the power of nature. A tree is planted in the centre of the restaurant and grow toward the light in the middle, to make the light so real to be sun. Special lighting also allows brightness to be auto associated with outdoor true sunlight.
Design Challenge: Space without window is a challenge to create brand image of Beans which emphasis on nature. Designer applied several elements to brighten the space and reflections on the wall to reduce the pressure of a closed interior. He also reduced the amount of walls to make the area more spacious.
Research: To have a full picture and application on the idea of cave, designer went to different caves for details research so to realize the natural cave in the restaurant. The ceiling, all, and combination of colour and decoration are from inspired by the real caves. Moreover, lots of 3D printing models were produced before construction.
Inspiration: A store without window lets the designer associated with a cave. To make this cave comfortable and ensure some warm lighting in it, the design concept Crystal Cave applied. Reflection of crystal brightens the place; also the natural light could be reflected into the store.
