The architectural elements that highlight the historical character of the location are influenced by its eclectic style. In designing CHARIOT CAFE, we aimed to emphasize these features through a subtle approach that keeps them central while ensuring coherence. The two interior spaces shape distinct narratives. The bar room conveys permanence through sculptural forms carved in unified geometry and materiality. In contrast, the “library” offers a disciplined retreat, with walnut furniture creating intimacy. We exposed the original ceiling by stripping plaster, adding texture and authenticity. This set the base for our palette: microcement floors, lime-washed walls, limestone surfaces, and Corian in soft beige tones. The bar connects to the street via a glass façade, complemented outside by concrete steps and minimal built-ins, forming a plaza-like threshold. A curved stainless steel centerpiece reflects the room subtly, while the second space deepens the sense of calm and introspection.
