THE CAFE AREA

LAYOUT.jpg

The project proposed theme is Contemporary Reflections of Arab/Islamic Heritage,  aiming to reflect locally influenced design with a contemporary aspect. The designed zone is a part of the cafe. 

 

The cafe layout was sent by Shurooq Investments, so no changes in regards to the seating numbers or built-in items, ceilings, floors, walls were made. However, all the lose furniture was completly changed and customised to represent the design patterns found in old traditional houses in a modern outline. The red highlighted area is the 3D renders proposals

​

Furthermore, different geometrical wooden patterns were added to the windows top to give the place a touch of modernity and to create beautiful patterns using shadows.
