Interior Of A Coffee House And Chocolate shop, Confiserie Bachmann
February 23rd, 2011 - Posted in Restaurant Bar Lounge Interior
HHF Architects has been Renovation of the Confiserie Bachmann flagship coffee house and chocolate shop in Basel, Switzerland. Confiserie Bachmann is Basel’s most traditional and most famous chocolate manufacturer, specializing in high quality sweets. The concept of this renovation is bright, elegant, and contemporary expression that adopts the characteristic qualities of the previous chocolate shop despite the visible changes. The renovation optimizes its location by reorienting it self a new to not only the street, but also around its corner to the covered passageway with outdoor cafe seating.
A typical of chocolate shops, the white color of the shop creates a light and spacious feel that is balanced by chocolate colored furniture. Additionally, the offsetting mirror system embedded into the main wall reflects diagonally to create perceptive depth and complexity.
An inviting cafe bar flooded with light, as well as the arrangement of the glass sales cabinet, the counter, the furnishings, and the bright colors, create a new openness to the street and the covered passageway. Although the space is small, the renovation creates a spacious, yet intimate atmosphere with the use of reflection and color.
