BAUM’S WEEKLY NEWSLETTER

A SLICE OF COLOUR IN THE HEART OF ASIA SQUARE

Café & Art Gallery 3,003 sqft

The brief from the owners were to create an inviting space where not only the young would love hanging out but also a place where the working adults can retreat to in the day. Taking all of that in account, the team at Baum Project has created a space that evokes serenity in a rather fast pace environment.

Blue Accents (Top) The colour blue is strongly associated to tranquility and calmness which matches the vibe of the space. Thus, the design of the place worked around the colour blue and gold accents through the unique hanging menu and customized lights .

Pastel Furniture (Bottom) Customized furniture flown all the way from Korea to spice up the space. It offers a good range of seating configuration and a range of colours to complement the space.

The art gallery on the other hand boasts of a cement screed flooring and a black and white ceiling to bring in an industrial vibe while the furniture on the other hand helps to merge the design flow from the café outside.

It’s All In The Details To create an interesting space, the team at Baum Project played around with trimmings and shapes. For the walls, trimming of the same colour was utilized. As for the counters, multiple levels and irregularity was engaged to create a quirky and distinctive space.

Unfinished Finished Details To be in line with the industrial vibe of the place, jagged, uneven, concrete like edges for an opening that seems unfinished but in actuality is finished to be in line with the design concept.

When You Can’t Buy It, Make It (Top) During the design process, the team at Baum Project wanted a lighting that was not in the market, thus we designed the lighting from scratch specially for this project.
