RESEARCH ABSTRACT: As it is a Forte Cafe, therefore the designer needed to realize the local market and type of customers in Wuhu, China. Of course the designer was required to work closely with the marketing team of the client, so that we came up some optional interior styles for the client's approval. Finally, book store feel were selected in order to create a cozy and relaxed environment for customers.
CHALLENGE: Layout is important in this project because we needed a clear layout to guide customers from the entrance to the brand's displays, site model and area map etc, finally to the seating area. Besides, we need to think carefully about the ceiling design. As the area is big and the ceiling height under the beam and service ducts is only about 3.8m, so we have partly aluminum panels in contrast with the gypsum board ceiling.
