Berliner Donuts One
Coffee and donuts shop
2023, Bucharest, Romania
Project nominated at the Bucharest Architecture Annual 2023
BERLINER DONUTS is a coffee and donuts shop on the ground floor of the new One development, on Barbu Văcărescu Street. Near Verdi Park, the building has become a growing landmark for local residents. Our design approach aimed to achieve maximum impact with minimal interventions and resources. We focused on optimizing existing elements found on site rather than introducing complex solutions. By assessing what was already in place, we streamlined efforts, reduced costs, and minimized disruption. A central concept was elevating materials typically hidden in the background—technical components were brought forward as defining features. Drywall panels became the main chromatic base, their neutrality framing other textures. The imperfect central wall contrasts the geometric furniture, creating balance. Our process was playful, blending intentional design with found elements, allowing for a dialogue between control and spontaneity.
