About Urban Banyan Талх нарийн боовны кафены интерьер дизайн

Urban Banyan бол Окинавагийн Наха хотод байрлах талх нарийн боовны кафены интерьер дизайн юм. Уг орон зайн гол цөм нь 6000 мм өргөн, 3600 мм өндөр уран баримлын баньян мод юм. Баримал нь модон банз, зуурмаг болон урлагийн шаваасыг хослуулсан бөгөөд мөчрүүдийг хөнгөн жинтэй 3D хэвлэсэн давирхайгаар хийж, галын аюулгүй байдлын шаардлагыг хангасан. Гадна талын хаяг байрлуулахыг зөвшөөрөөгүй тул 14.5 метрийн шилэн фасадад хагас тунгалаг навчны хээтэй хэвлэсэн 3 мм-ийн акрил хавтангуудыг байрлуулжээ. Арын гэрэлтүүлэг нь шөнийн цагаар дэлгүүрийн нүүрэн талыг дулаахан дэнлүү болгон хувиргадаг.

Production Technology
To meet fire codes, the banyan sculpture uses a hybrid of lath boards, mortar, and artistic plaster. Complex branches integrate lightweight 3D-printed resin to reduce load. The 14.5m window features 3mm acrylic panels with semi-transparent leaf prints. Backlit for a lantern effect, it leverages western exposure, creating a dramatic interplay between the interior and twilight.
Design Challenge
Due to tenant restrictions, no exterior signage was permitted. To overcome this limitation, the design reimagined the entire window surface as a glowing lantern visible from the street, creating both a signature presence and cost efficiency without breaching the building facade rules.
Research
Research focused on material innovation to balance art with strict fire safety. We developed a lightweight structure integrating 3D-printed resin components and noncombustible mortar. We also explored reversible attachment mechanisms for the long-span acrylic window panels. This demonstrates a sustainable approach to large-scale indoor art installations, merging traditional crafts with digital fabrication.
Inspiration
In the concrete jungle of Naha City, this design reintroduces the primal comfort of nature. Inspired by the Okinawan Banyan tree (Gajumaru), revered in folklore as the abode of spirits, the space serves as a modern sanctuary. The concept visualizes the invisible 'Life Force' of the island. By integrating the organic forms of the Banyan with the play of light and shadow, the design transforms a commercial space into a spiritual shelter, offering a moment of primitive healing amidst urban hustle.
Project Duration
The project started in Nov 2024 in Naha City, Okinawa and finished in March 2025
Operation Flow
Guests enter beneath the symbolic canopy of the banyan tree and are naturally guided toward seating areas that embrace the soft western light. The filtered illumination through the acrylic leaf screens shifts subtly throughout the day, providing visitors with a tangible sense of passing time. This visual and spatial rhythm intentionally encourages people to slow their pace, breathe deeply, and experience emotional serenity while enjoying their coffee and bread.
