Ombra Cafe-Bar
With iron and paper
The small angular and high-ceilinged bar - cafe in Faro’s of Psychico, at the side street of Kifisias Av. followed a strategy of abstraction. The basic material, paper tubes (D=12cm) which potentially cover the whole area like a forest and subtracted to obtain the necessary functional space empty.
The tubes are still shaping the false cover the walls and used to support the bar and raised perimeter benches. The tubes of the ceiling used for an atmospheric lighting while in between the perimeter walls arranged shelves of sheets. Our aim is to develop a space that creates the feeling that you are surrounded by a "forest" of paper tubes.
The angular façade consists of sliding glazed that disappear during the summer so as to create a strong relationship of inside with the outside.
