INTERIOR DESIGN URBAN COFFEE SHOP

The interior design of Urban Coffee Shop is a renovation project aimed at creating a café space for young, dynamic customers who appreciate minimalism and convenience. Located on a busy street corner with high foot traffic, Urban Coffee Shop aims to become a familiar urban stop – a place where people can work, relax, or connect. The design needs to convey the brand’s personality while ensuring smooth operation during peak hours.

PROBLEMS WHEN DESIGNING URBAN COFFEE SHOP

With an area of over 250m², the client wanted to create a modern, minimalist café that still feels warm and welcoming. The challenge for CO-IDB was how to reshape the spatial experience while maintaining the approachable, open spirit inherent to an urban coffee shop.

Design proposals for each category

The interior design solution for Urban Coffee Shop was developed around the Urban Minimalism style – minimalist yet distinctive, focusing on visual and emotional experience. The space is visually expanded through a neutral color palette (white, cement gray, light wood brown), combined with the use of raw, natural surfaces to create a sense of warmth and modernity.

Key Design Highlights

  1. Barista Counter

    The counter is designed in a linear “I” shape, optimizing floor space and enabling efficient workflow for baristas. The countertop features cement-patterned engineered stone combined with moisture-resistant MDF wood panels, creating a sophisticated material contrast. The back cabinetry is recessed into the wall, integrating both storage and display functions. Accent lighting highlights the preparation area, showcasing products while enhancing professionalism.
  2. Work Zone

    Single and wall-attached long tables are selected with a minimalist design – melamine-coated industrial wood tops and black powder-coated metal legs. Mid-back chairs provide ergonomic support for extended seating, suitable for work needs. This area includes convenient recessed floor outlets and wall sockets. The interior design prioritizes open space, with neutral white lighting to maintain focus.
  3. Lounge Zone

    The lounge area features neutral-colored fabric sofas paired with small round tables, creating a relaxing and friendly atmosphere. Materials are chosen for softness and sound absorption. Partitioning between seating groups uses spaced wooden slats, offering privacy while maintaining visual continuity. Decorative pendant lights add visual interest and depth.
  4. Branding & Decorative Area

    A large wall is left with polished cement finish and mounted metal letters displaying the brand logo – making a strong impression at first glance. Decorative furniture includes slim wall-mounted shelves and small potted plants, adding liveliness while keeping the space minimalist.
  5. Lighting & Material System

    Throughout the interior, lighting is layered: general lighting (recessed downlights), spotlighting (highlighting key areas), and decorative lighting (enhancing brand identity). The main material palette consists of light wood, gray cement, and black-painted metal – aligning with the minimalist urban style that the café aims to achieve.
