Coffee house Sjorb is a small coffee house in a residential area of the city of Kharkov with an interesting philosophy: Sjorb is an ideal place, not to be ideal.
From the point of view of the philosophy of the slogan, it perfectly echoes the philosophy of wabi-sabi in the interior. In order to show an ideal non-ideal world in the interior, the architects decided to leave some of the elements that would help emphasize the idea. So in the interior there were reinforced concrete elements, a native concrete ceiling, and fire boxes with hydrants.
The main advantages of space:
– small area 50m2
– ceiling height +3.000
- native concrete ceiling and fragments of walls
- and a panoramic window
The interior design of the coffee shop was developed by the IK-architects team. The architects have chosen a laconic natural palette with bright accents and textured materials for the interior design project of the cafe.
We got a spacious hall for guests of the Sjorb coffee house, where there is a comfortable seating (for two, four and six visitors), an accent rack for selling coffee equipment.
When designing the interior, it was decided to create a design effect without design - a modern trend in which it seems that the interior was assembled from what was, the furniture was bought at a flea market and restored; there is some truth in this, it is important to develop a competent planning solution, bar and kitchen technology; zone the space according to fit, flows, etc., and then fill the interior with authentic details.
