About Dream On Muundo wa Ndani wa Baa

Dream On ni muundo wa ndani wa baa iliyopo katika Jiji la Yilan, Taiwan. Chumba chembamba cha mstatili chenye ukubwa wa mita za mraba 72 kimegeuzwa kuwa mandhari ya barabara ya ndani iliyopata msukumo kutoka kwenye mchoro The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum wa Van Gogh. Vyanzo vya mwanga vinavyoakisi, madirisha ya kupamba, fremu na balconi zinaonyesha barabara yenye mwanga wakati wa usiku, zikisaidiwa na mchanganyiko wa rangi za kizamani zenye vivuli vya kijani-buluu. Takriban asilimia 80 ya vifaa vinavyotumika ni vya eneo hilo na vingi vimerejelezwa kutoka kwa vifaa vilivyotumika awali. Kuta zimepewa muonekano usio na ulinganifu ili kupunguza mwangwi, hivyo mazungumzo yanabaki wazi na kueleweka vizuri.

Unique Properties: In Yilan, Taiwan, there is one imaginative designer who loves the art works of Van Gogh so much, he decided to recreate the famous scene of the exotic, open-air cafe through this commercial bar refurbishment project. With the hand-picked elements extracted from local streets and architectural materials of the traditional Yilan area, this is a dare-to-dream figure puzzled up in modern transcreation, featuring decorative windows, frames and balconies. The design of the streetscape is also infused
Dimensions & Packaging: The overall interior space is 72 square meters, a corridor-like space with 4.2 meters in width, 15.4 meters in length, and the angled roof yields 4.3 meters to 5.3 meters in height. The rectangular bar is 110 cm in height, and the tables on the side are 5 cm higher than the tabletop on purpose, a perfect height when the bar is crowded with stand-up guests.

Production Technology: 80% of the materials used are extracted from local, with massive amount of recycled materials used repeatedly, emphasizing that although the design is a newly constructed space, the negative impact toward the environment can still be reduced this way.

The decorative windows on the upper part of the wall are also from second-handed materials, retaining traced and scratched surface from the past, adding a touch of warmth and the depth of time into the space.

The wall has been well-treated with the concave and convex design method, addressing complicated wall decoration onto the surface. In addition to the suggestion of the street appearance, the white frame has the purpose of adjusting the reflection and resistance of the sound to make the sound energy distributed as evenly as possible, eliminating echoes bouncing over in a narrow space, and most importantly, allowing conversations to be heard.
Design Challenge: The biggest challenge in design is the sound echoing in the rectangular space. Because the space is narrow and long, in order to avoid the acoustic wave reflecting on the flat surface, the wall has been deliberately designed to be uneven, avoiding the back-and-forth sound bouncing in between.
Research: To recreate the Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum, an in-depth analysis was committed across the use of color, the spatial structure, and the arrangement of the painting. Elements were extracted from the painting and put into application, from the palette, the frames to the abstract balcony. The reflection of the ground light, the sense of the lines in the painting, and the distance between the seats are all results of the decomposition, which constitutes this Dream-on bar.
Inspiration: It all started with the painting of Van Gogh, The Cafe Terrace on the Place du Forum, which triggered the imagination toward the look of the bar - an indoor street house that creates the exotic atmosphere that forms an imaginative open-air cafe. To achieve that, the starry sky and light reflection are paramount; therefore, in this bar design, numerous of reflective light sources are used to shape a bright street of the night, and the retro-inspired color palette mixed with mystic bluish-green al
Project Duration: This project finished in March 2017 in Yilan City in Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In general, a rectangular, corridor-shaped space is less preferred due to the physical limitation by nature, but the design of this bar retains the structure and transformed it into an indoor street house, and tables on the side are set in height for people to stand aside and walk in between the bar and the seating area. The width of the isle only allows one person to pass through, increasing intimacy and interactions in between guests.
