Ai Giudici

About

The concept for the project “Ai Giudici – coffee & drinks” is born from the need to ensure the flexibility of a space for coffee shop by day and pub at night. In order to ensure this double meaning of the space within the same it’s possible mix the lounge character of the coffee house, as the warmth of wood in the spaces for the breakfast, and the stronger character of iron – rust color – that fit the project for the night pub. The materials used in two different spaces lend themselves to a strongly identifying the functions that take place mainly within them. In areas where breakfast is served, the wood invests tables and chairs, elements containers and planters on the walls and light fixtures on the ceiling; these elements, characterized by wooden modular volumes, are grafted onto a lightweight iron that starts from the floor and through the walls and ceiling by wrapping the entire space. In the middle of the room, where night work takes place mainly through the sale of cocktails, breaks the volume treated iron rust color that embraces floor, walls and ceiling, and that includes the bar counter illuminated by soft lighting suspended. The flexible nature of the space is then assured thanks to the presence of elements of furniture that, being able to constantly change position in the modular metal structure, allow to obtain different configurations depending on the use you want to do and depending on the different hours of the day. Even the seats can change configuration placed vertically as stools or placed horizontally as benches. This multifunctional aspect of the project is a strong element of attraction for the customers, who can find a place of constant change. Finally, in order to ensure the removal of architectural barriers, a floating floor on iron legs has been laid over the entire surface, elevated than the original, thus reaching the entrance height of the local and promoting the accessibility and practicability to the disabled. This floor leaves to notice in some areas, making up of iron and glass, the original marble floor, enhanced by the presence of a widespread LED lighting under the glass surface.
