Labotory | 首尔CaféOriente极简风咖啡厅设计风向

Café Oriente 咖啡厅坐落在首尔的一个时尚街区，除了咖啡，咖啡馆还出售传统韩国小吃的手工版本，客户要求设计“含蓄的东方美学”来呼应这一点。58平方米的地下室位于一条小巷的尽头，这里原来是一家废弃的电子产品商店。

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在此基础上运用了传统韩国住宅的元素，包括精致的弧形遮阳篷、平静的奶油墙纸和温暖的木材。咖啡柜台和长椅的框架庭院模仿了传统的矩形形状，增加了结构感和稳定性。而当代元素，如水磨石地板和混凝土在室内和外墙创造了一个干净的，极简主义美学。

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.

另一个白色天花板结构镶嵌在庭院之上，周边有间接照明，使天花板看起来更深，就像浮动一样。鹅卵石、小植物和岩石环绕着庭院，这些自然元素为凉爽、混凝土厚重的室内带来了温暖。

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.
