The Brief
The visual concept is inspired by the Zen qualities of tea culture - warm, natural earth tones are conveyed with the use of bamboo plywood, juxtaposed with dark green tile against a black backdrop. These notes are balanced with contemporary cues such as white quartz and copper.
Cafe in Cafe
The design context was particular in that we were building a café within a café. It was important to respect the neighbouring Porto Cafe, by employing a complementary geometric language. Yet, Paragon is expressed as a distinct entity from its neighbour, distinguishable with its use of saturated greens, caramels, and copper tones.
