Cafe and Library
Huna Library contains a speciality coffee bar, retail and social space that could be turned into an events space.
Elements of the Nadji Architecture in the region inspired the solid masses of the façade. The social space is likened to a covered street or a courtyard. A play on rhythm and repetition on the different elements gave the simplistic and minimalist interiors some sense of movement and unrelenting visual quality. The much needed negative space that is present is likened to the city’s introverted personality. However, the new and modern design vocabulary speaks across different times.
Once woven together, all these elements and interests created one special canvas that inhibits a self-nurturing and growth-inducing multi-layered stepping stone to many original success stories.
