Revealing Chow Kit’s Latest Cafe Gem by Supewerks
Along a modest row of historic shophouses in Chow Kit, stands a new café gem marked by a distinctive wooden entrance frame. The wooden entrance not only creates a striking contrast against the white facade but also offers an inviting and approachable palette for passersby.
Layout configured to maximize daylight
The comforting essence of this wooden entrance extends seamlessly into the interior, crafting a serene ambiance that offers a pause from the bustling Chow Kit street. The layout was designed to maximize natural daylight from the tall existing windows, enhancing the serene ambiance for customers.
Open-back shelving allows natural daylight into interior
Instead opting for traditional display shelves, a cleverly designed open-back display was employed to utilize wall space without obstructing natural daylight from entering the interior. Its meticulous attention to detail, along with integrated lighting, lends a sophisticated look to the design.
Contrasting black materials highlight features and guide circulation
Amidst the serene wooden elements, a striking contrast with black accents was introduced to emphasize key areas and display shelves for customers. Additionally, a seamless flow was created with the use of black material, enticing customers to explore the other spaces above.
