We agreed on a concept of inserting traditionally shaped elements with contemporary details and modern technologies for the built-in and free interiors.
The café space was cleared of non-functional partitions that unnecessarily divided the area and suppressed its original dignity and openness. The café was connected to the adjacent billiards parlor - the non-functional billiards room was closed off and replaced with additional seating for guests.
