ARCHITECTURAL FOCUS that help diffuse the lighting inside , creating a warm , softly lit space . The Barrisol ceiling also echoes with the actual open voids in the courtyard , visually and conceptually connecting both spaces into one entirety .
The seating arrangement is designed to be continuous like a ribbon , wrapping around the interior space to create continuity , whereas the height of the counters differ to suit the different functions and uses . The outdoor seating is made from resin , mixed with coffee grounds , rice , and leaves to tie into the coffee theme .
The attention to detail extends to the graphic elements , with custom-designed fonts and signage which have been inspired by circular dots and the spring season . The floor is terrazzo , and the separation in the material is necessary , therefore the architect specifically designed the floor separations to be circular , with insertions of embedded quotes and words that lead to different functions in the cafe . Another playful element includes the flower petals pattern in the terrazzo floor , radiating outward as if they have fallen from the actual trees . The architect formed a playful connection through this interplay between the different dimensions , resulting in another hidden gem for the customers to unveil .
