Beach Café, Busan, South Korea

Acknowledged as the Miami of South Korea, Busan is well known for its beach locations and mountains. When the style and design crew at Seoul-dependent Subject Far better Interior Style Studio (mttb) approached their assignment for a seaside café in the town of Gijang-eup in the Busan Metropolitan City location for a area brand Off.O, they knew the scenery had to be the main attraction.

The structure housing the 589 square-metre (6,340 sq.ft) café on the climate-beaten, rugged seaside is classy in its low minimalist profile.

The café extends into a few independent properties. The central entrance house homes a bakery and a espresso bar. Angled on equally sides are two individual seating spots, every with incredible sights of the seashore.

Minimalist black, white and normal slate hues dominate all a few areas with the bakery mainly slate-grey and a person of the seating parts practically totally black with lengthy tables and very low-hanging lights. The all round elongated, low-slung style and design language attracts the eye to the windows and to the rugged scenery outside the house.

The boxy shape of the buildings and the rigid designs of the home windows and extended tables are softened by rounded particulars, these as the hanging light fixtures, chair backs and the edges of the decrease tables designed of bulky, dim slabs of wood.

With the dark minimalist interiors and the indoor pathways flanked by rock-filled “wells” there is a definite Japanese sensibility to the seating regions. We enjoy the drama developed by allowing the impressive views dominate the rooms.

Make any difference Better (mttb) was in demand of branding, thought design, schematic style and design, functioning drawings and design and style supervision of this undertaking. Tuija Seipell
