Designing interior architecture and shaping public spaces. more

The café project, inspired by Spanish architectural style—particularly the curves of the royal palace—presents itself as an interesting and thoughtful attempt to combine local architectural references with a functional interior. The author demonstrates a good sense of proportion and aesthetics—the space feels warm, cozy, and at the same time representative. The clear design narrative, based on olive motifs and soft lines, creates a cohesive brand and spatial identity.
The functional layout is worth noting—dividing the café into two floors with separate serving areas and a family seating zone provides flexibility and practical usability. The use of natural materials such as wood and brick, combined with decorative details (columns, railings, artwork), creates an expressive yet welcoming interior.

It may be worth considering greater restraint in the selection and combination of materials. Currently, the project features a wide variety of textures and finishes, which slightly disrupts the clarity of the overall composition. Reducing the material palette and focusing on a few dominant textures could enhance the visual coherence of the space.
In summary, this is a project with strong potential and a clear aesthetic vision. With minor adjustments in material harmony and detailing, it could become a highly attractive and cohesive public space.
