Within this technical framework, two freestanding sanitary volumes were introduced as curved, translucent polycarbonate forms rising below the exposed ceiling level. Complex in fabrication, the overall engineering systems required additional acoustic treatment, while the pods were carefully insulated to ensure comfort within the open hall. Serving both functional and sculptural roles, they are positioned along the central axis, allowing circulation to flow around, distributing visitor traffic while maintaining visual permeability.
The program is layered. A semi-open kitchen and gastronomic display operate on the main level of the café, while a large production kitchen in the basement was conceived as a factory unit for future branches and is connected to the upper level via a service lift. Seating zones vary in scale and atmosphere: a communal curved bar table for twelve, window-side dining areas, semi-private booth seating near the entrance, an open wine shelving structure integrated into the layout, and a dedicated children’s room enclosed by a dense curtain. The venue accommodates multiple scenarios — quick breakfast, business lunch, dinner, or a glass of wine.
