Kist Design studio, inspired by the history of the Walter plant, presents a cozy cafe "Kofínno" in the new office complex "Waltrovka". The space combines the energy of office life with the comfort of a home atmosphere and becomes a source of inspiration for visitors.

The layout of the cafe ensures openness and dynamism, and the transparency of the space creates a feeling of interaction with the surrounding world. Zoning includes different levels and heights, forming individual spaces.

The interior is based on the industrial history of the Walter plant, with a dominance of gray concrete and metal elements on the ceiling. Wood adds coziness and harmony, while blue color adds dynamism and comfort. Cream and beige shades add coziness.

Furniture and decor are selected with modern aesthetics in mind. Soft velor furniture matches the various high and low elements, emphasizing the characteristics of each zone.

The decor includes a bar, a wooden helicopter and sketches of engines on the walls, maintaining a connection with the history of the plant. Plants and lighting elements add freshness and decorativeness.

Lighting includes diffused LED backlighting to create atmosphere and emphasize textures. Directional lighting creates intimate islands of light, accentuating each table. Decorative lamps add atmosphere and emphasize accents.

"Kofínno" not only provides modern style and comfort, but also embodies a deep respect for historical heritage, telling its unique story through design.

The subject of our work was a commercial unit, FIT-OUT Kofínno, Delta Radlická B+C. The space is located in the 1st floor of the building (part) B. The space was designed as a catering operation of the company D.H.Gastro s.r.o.

The technical solution was a café Kofínno built from scratch in the new building Waltrovka. We solved the entire layout of the café, the background and the sales area. Furthermore, the technical task was to create a complete HVAC system including air conditioning, medical social technology, security solutions, according to the new standards and energy certification of the building.
