The presentation of this family-type café project is straightforward yet impactful, effectively communicating the design concept. The layout is well-structured, with clear divisions between the entrance, children’s zone, relaxation areas, and the terrace, making the function and flow of the space easy to grasp. The renders beautifully enhance this clarity, bringing the idea of a café that feels like a peaceful walk in the forest to life. The connection to nature is evident, and the overall ambiance is inviting and serene.

The floor plans are thoughtfully detailed, ensuring that the spatial arrangement maximizes usability while maintaining a sense of openness and relaxation. The functional zones are well-considered, guiding visitors seamlessly through the different areas of the café. The addition of the terrace is a great touch, reinforcing the connection to the outdoors and enhancing the overall experience for families.

Your design statements are in perfect harmony with the visuals, and the eco-style approach ties everything together. It’s clear that the main goal of this space – to provide families with a place to relax and strengthen their relationships – has been achieved with careful planning and a thoughtful design.

Thank you, Alona Hlushak, for participating in the Inspireli competition, and congratulations on presenting such a well-conceived and beautifully executed project. Your clear presentation, well-organized plans, and inviting atmosphere are truly impressive. Keep up the great work!
