It gives an unusual spatial effect to people and also become a medium for people who want to be lost in thought with flavorous coffee.

Production Technology

Among the elements of interior design, this ceiling object has prepared by digital fabrication technology. The initial digital volume was manipulated and evaluated in a virtual space to get higher acoustic performance. Then the quantity of material and construction method had determined. We also have calculated the optimized load point to mount over half-ton of plywood on the ceiling.

Design Challenge

Even if the evaluated digital volume of the ceiling gives more dynamic and functional form, we needed to manipulate some areas to get clearance height. And we have developed custom ceiling joints and details from the computational analysis that shows this ceiling object feels safe and light.

Project Duration

The project started in December 2018 and finished in April 2019 in Seoul, South Korea.

Operation Flow

The client just wanted a cozy and comfort place to neighbors who visit, but we start to develop a concept that can show spatial advantages to both barista and customers. Because we believe the spatial atmosphere comes from not only the physical things but also the human. Then we suggested a centralized preparation zone with a medium that can make focus on the barista and give comforts to customers. Then I gave the question to the client. "Have you imagine that speaker or creatures under the big shading tree?"

Research

After the decision to make a "Shading tree" as a medium of norms to create and convert people's experiences in the cafe, we focused on the language of construction. Digital fabrication and parametric design often give a futuristic, unfriendly feeling. But we needed to make sure that technology means not a futuristic design. In other words, when it converts materials to the immaterial thing, we could get a more warm and friendly mood from cutting-edge construction technology.

Inspiration

As a branding and interior designer of this retail project, the brand name of the cafe "Perception" gave strict inspiration to us. People usually feel something through their past experiences, which means very personal and private. Have you thought about that other people think or feel just the same as you had? We believed that this question is valuable to deal with this project. Then we started to touch the norms of feeling at the cafe.
