Pattern Cafe

Project Description | Culture Driven Cafe

Using a traditional pattern from any culture we were to design a cafe with creative spatial organization, and custom designed dividers, kiosk, and seating options to communicate a message.

Site | Union Station Grand Hall ( 124’ x 86’)

Concept | Imprinting African History

Using African textiles to give insight into social, religious, and political context in an abstract and approachable way. The space provides design elements that are typically represented in African design but also a new knowledge on black and African history.

Pattern | Bogolan Patterns

I was inspired by the Bogolan Patterns from the Bambra Tribe in Africa. The linear and horizontal movement inspired my design to create a grid on my floor plan but also using the organic lines formed within the pattern to create the extruding triangles and organic shapes for my dividers.
