M COFFEE
This project is located in Tehran
which is the most crowded city of Iran. The cultural and social condition of
Iran is in a way that the coffee shops are the most popular places for young population
to hang out. And if they feel comfortable in a specific one, they always know
it as their own hang out place. This project is with the dimension of 10.5 by 5
m (52 sqm) and located in the second floor of a two-floor shopping mall. The
concern of the client in the first place was to have a space with unique design
qualities with a low budget. In this project our aims were to introduce new
ideas, at the same time create a unified space with different spatial qualities
in a limited space. In this project we were not just trying to put the
materials and form together, but also we tried to create a design that can
describe an independent identity and new vision about the interior elements for
this coffee shop.
Our design concerns
1-considering
the size of the space which was 52 sqm with the height of the 4.5 m, we were
faced with the challenge of reducing the sounds generated by conversations of
about 42 people as much as we could(by
redirecting the sounds).
2-our next concern was to reach to a
solution which was able to create multiple perspective views in every single
spot of the coffee shop. As people are walking through or using the different
zones of the area, they could observe dissimilar perspective views in each
zone.
3-Another concern was how to create homogeneous
space from one unified source.
4- Finally it was to simplify the
construction method due to construction abilities and technologies in Iran and simultaneously
reduce the cost of material and construction technologies.
Design
process
The project functionally is divided
in to two main zones of kitchen area and the main hall, but in the concept
phase we considered them as four zones of entrance, the main hall, the serving
counter and the kitchen. Due to that the cubic box was divided to two main
parts:
A: south-north walls and the ceiling
B: east-west walls, the entrance and the end
walls and the floor
In part A based on our concern we
tried to unify the walls and ceiling and also the lighting elements. As this
part was the main hall, we tried to use an innovative method for indirect
lighting to merge it with the design elements in a way that the lighting is not
an independent element. The method of creating this solid mass is based on
morphing two curves over each other. This method creates variety of different
perspective views and tends to produce diverse experiences in each spot.
In the next level, for a simpler
construction and better absorbing of sound we divided the morph in to
horizontal cross sections. Lighting elements that are LED fibers are placed
between the sections. By this method we provided
the main light of the area in an indirect manner. This fact conveys a relaxing
form of light in the space and also eliminates any sharp and disturbing type of
light. To decrease the costs, the curves
in different cross sections were printed in real scale and the forms consist of
aluminum structural supports covered with plaster panels. The final cover is
acrylic colored plaster panels. The execution cost of the ceiling with the
lighting summed up to 6000 $ which is very low comparing to other methods of
construction.
In part B
the material is limited to dark wood that connects the entrance wall, the
floor, the serving counter and the kitchen.
The shape of the entrance and counter
wall was effected by two generator curves in part A. Part B completes the part
A in a way that these two parts are the pieces of puzzles put together and
complete the cube of space.
To avoid multiplicity of materials,
the idea of the project in material selection was to allow two basic materials
to conduct their role effectively. In part A it is limited to basic white coat
that covers the roof and the walls continuously and in part B it is the dark
wood color and the furniture’s made by dark wood colors and dark brown leather.
The reasoning behind choosing the dark color of wood was to eliminate the
diversity of texture and existing colors in the wood itself, in an attempt to
provoke the spatial quality and flow of light in the space.
