Cofee bar is located in the business center Eurovea. Liner corridor of the store divides cafe into two halves. The cafe is thus interconnecting the direction of the hallway.  Original state was based on the seating associated with the positions held flowerpot with Bar located under the escalator area. Under the opposite escalator is positioned sort of VIP seating. Within a limited budget, it is possible to intervene into the design of cafe only lightly. Spatial resolution remained origin.

 

Firstly, it had to be fixed the relationship between public space and the cafe. This means to achieve a more intimate feeling when visiting cafeteria. The solution was to replace a low flowerpot greenery for higher one, which would create a permissible barrier  - enclosure. Original red background of the flowerpot seating was reversed in less striking wooden veneer on which were placed vertically oak slats. Verticals created a kind of harmonic rhythm and lighten richness of new green.
