INTERIOR DESIGN & ARCHITECTURE

Cœur Tagesbar - MARTINO HUTZ ARCHITECTURE -

The design for Cœur Tagesbar was based on a simple brief from the clients : to bring out the best in a small , complex , and cramped space . We have found our answer through a biological phenomenon , differential growth . As per the principle : a limited area is optimally used through a special cell division .
Concept . How to maximize the use of limited space ? Both conceptually and visually , differential growth is used as a key element in the restaurant . The growth pattern follows a clear mathematical system , even when it appears to be random . This system is based on an algorithm modeled after natural occurrences and simulated using parametric software . The mathematical understanding of growth evolution was used not only for the light installation as the centerpiece but also for smaller artifacts located on both floors . A similar idea is applied to the interior cladding around the counter . Random patterns or streaks in vivid color variations are created through the chromatization of steel panels , making the contours of the space disappear .
