Ukhonkolo olungapholishiwe, izindawo ezikhandiwe, amaphethini enziwe ngesipatula sikakhonkolo kanye nezingosi eziyindilinga kuchaza indawo yangaphakathi. Amaphethini asebusweni bebha akhiwa ngezimodeli ezingaphambili (precast molds) wabe esenamathiselwa kwifenisha. Izihlalo ezisemazingeni ahlukene, ibha ende yomphakathi kanye nebhentshi kusekela ukuxhumana, kanti uhlelo lwendawo luvula umbono osuka emgwaqweni uye endaweni yokosa oshukela.

Unique Properties
As a cafe designed in the style of Brutalism, the materials that are used lie at the center of this project. Muuk has eliminated all unnecessary ornamentation and incorporated various techniques into the work. The raw concrete, hammered surface, patterns created with cement spatula, even the rounded corners come together to convey the supreme architectural craftsmanship of Brutalism. The spatial arrangements allow bodily movements and vision to move throughout the space, allowing the people on the streets a view of and further exchange with the factory space, which is the heart of the cafe.

Production Technology
The raw concrete, hammered surface, patterns created with cement spatula, even the rounded corners come together to convey the supreme architectural craftsmanship of Brutalism. Muuk has deliberately carved out spaces for interaction, such as the areas with different seating heights and the extended communal bar top and bench.he spatial arrangements allow bodily movements and vision to move throughout the space, from the semi-outdoor seating to the bean roasting area at the end, allowing the people on the streets a view of and further exchange with the factory space.
Design Challenge
For this design project, Muuk challenged the different possibilities of concrete. Apart from incorporating concrete in its usual usage on flooring, Muuk attempted to create lines and patterns on the facade of the bar. Due to the challenges of creating the pattern on site, Muuk decided to adjust the process and created the pattern using precast molds, and the completed facades were then reattached to the furniture piece.
Research

Inspiration
Through insight and observation, Muuk Design Associates has discovered that with the rapid changes of urban commercial activities, decorative and renovative materials have also witnessed new additions, layering, and changes. Following the design principle of simplicity, Muuk has decided to exclude superfluous decorations to reveal the authenticity of the material itself, allowing the commercial space to subtly blend in the bustling city scene.

The project finished in June 2020 in Taipei Taiwan.
