Kitchen and Bar
Transforming an existing building and activating a street corner by introducing a new function. An opportunity to create a place for encounters, full of warmth and color.
Restoring the space, which has been modified many times in the past, to its full potential. Removing all layers, opening up the space and exposing hidden quality. And a complete remodeling of the interior, including the design of custom-made elements, furniture pieces and sunshades. These were built by local craftspeople, using a.o. steel and rubberwood. The vivid colors are executed with steel menie, sustaibable chalk paint and kurkuma. Irregularity of rythm is a reoccuring topic within the elements.
