The Design

About Open Mind Coffee Primárna funkcia: Kaviareň

Text knihy: Dizajn nanovo definuje hranice integráciou architektúry, interiéru a krajiny, čím vytvára žiariacu sklenenú škatuľu, ktorá akoby sa vznášala v priestore. Flexibilné usporiadania, prechody materiálov a strategické osvetlenie stierajú funkčné zóny, zatiaľ čo bezšvové sklenené steny prepájajú interiér a exteriér, čím zvyšujú otvorenosť a plynulosť. Priestor kombinuje funkcie kaviarne, neformálneho stravovania, čítania a výstavy a ponúka pohodlný, interaktívny zážitok, ktorý podporuje sociálnu interakciu, oddych a objavovanie, pozývajúc používateľov, aby prijali pocit slobody a nekonečných možností.

Production Technology
Flexible Layout:
Instead of traditional partitions, we used furniture, lighting, and landscape elements to naturally divide the space, creating seamless connections between functional areas without feeling oppressive or overly separated.

Material and Lighting:
Layered materials like wood, marble, and glass, along with varied lighting effects, define visual boundaries while preserving openness and a natural atmosphere.

Multifunctionality and Interactivity:
Without clear barriers between functional areas, thoughtful designs such as furniture placement, lighting, and greenery guide movement and interaction. The space is adaptable to different needs, enhancing the overall experience.
