A boutique café at street level in Nişantaşı. The room moves inward from the shopfront in a single language.

The street face was taken as a threshold that invites inward. The plan was set on a short circulation and a clear seating arrangement.

Fixed furniture, lighting and material were chosen from the same palette. The aim was not to attract attention; to leave a quiet interior in the tempo of the street.

Decisions

Three decisions that held this work.

  • 01

    Making the shopfront a threshold

    The street front is not a display; it is a passage that invites inward. The room moves in a single language.

  • 02

    Shortening the circulation

    The plan was set on a short entry and a clear seating arrangement. There is no extra corridor.

  • 03

    Reducing the fixed pieces

    Furniture, lighting and material come from the same palette. The aim is not to catch the eye; it is to stand quiet.

Palette

A short set of materials.

  • Stone
  • Wood
