Labotory | 首爾CaféOriente極簡風咖啡廳-設計風向

Café Oriente 咖啡廳坐落在首爾的一個時尚街區，除了咖啡，咖啡館還出售傳統韓國小吃的手工版本，客戶要求設計“含蓄的東方美學”來呼應這一點。58平方米的地下室位於一條小巷的盡頭，這裏原來是一家廢棄的電子產品商店。

Located in a hipster-leaning neighbourhood of Seoul.Along with coffee, the café sells artisanal versions of traditional Korean snacks, and the client requested the design ‘imply oriental aesthetics’ to echo this. The 58 sqm, basement level site sits at the end of an alleyway, in an ex-electronics shop.

Labotory在此基礎上運用了傳統韓國住宅的元素，包括精致的弧形遮陽篷、平靜的奶油牆紙和溫暖的木材。咖啡櫃台和長椅的框架庭院模仿了傳統的矩形形狀，增加了結構感和穩定性。而當代元素，如水磨石地板和混凝土在室內和外牆創造了一個幹淨的，極簡主義美學。

Labotory expanded on this by echoing elements of a traditional Korean house, including elaborate curved awnings, calming cream wallpaper and warm timber. The coffee counter and bench seats that frame the courtyard mimic the traditional rectangular shape, adding a sense of structure and stability.Contemporary elements such as terrazzo flooring and concrete grind on the interior and exterior walls create a clean, minimalist aesthetic.

另一個白色天花板結構鑲嵌在庭院之上，周邊有間接照明，使天花板看起來更深，就像浮動一樣。鵝卵石、小植物和岩石環繞著庭院，這些自然元素為涼爽、混凝土厚重的室內帶來了溫暖。

Another white ceiling structure is inset over the courtyard, with indirect lighting on the perimeter making the ceiling appear deeper, and as if floating. Pebbles, small plants and rocks border the courtyard, natural elements that bring warmth to the cool, concrete-heavy interior.
