Loisir

Nordic Bros. Design Community completed in Seoul Loisir, a bakery-café designed as a space achromatic colored, unexposed but fascinating itself.

Loisir, by Nordic Bros. Design Community, is a bakery and coffee shop in Seoul, inspired by French and Japanese patisseries and designed as a space achromatic coloured, unexposed but fascinating itself, changeable each season.

The existing architecture was preserved as much as possibile, putting emphasis on the use of unsmooth finish materials such as terracotta and painting of the exposure state to fit in the used bricks.

To utilize merits of the existing spaces (a house with an open yard), it blurred the distinction between spaces and emphasized the continuity by arranging the gable roof structure consecutively in a row inside and outside.

While providing each table inside and outside with the individual view and leaving a margin for a line for lighting equipment, it used copper as the accent color to express the space.
