An Urban Slice of Heaven - Dripper Urban Retreat

The Dripper - specialty coffee shop - is the project that proved once again that nothing is impossible. The implementation time was very short and everything went fast-forward. The successful result of the project is mainly due to the owners, who were involved and truly dedicated to the project and trusted us totally. Chapeau, B & M! Located in the center of Oradea, Romania, this project brings forward the historical elements that we focused on, while outlining it's story. Vasile Alecsandri Street used to be called the Green Tree (coming from Hungarian Zöldfa Utca), as the back then inn (which today houses The Arcadia Theatre).  We tried to convey this detail through the greenery strategically placed inside. At the same time we tried to highlight the story of the space and the building (the house belonged to the well-known architect Rendes Vilmos), through the specific elements of the Neo-Renaissance period (the window frames, as well as the mirror framed by the black wall, etc.). Below are some images taken before the new design. Another detail that we considered in the story is the welcome message: “Come inside. It's warm and we have good coffee.” And, good coffee must be enjoyed in a warm, inviting atmosphere, and why not, sophisticated. Thus, we wanted to outline a concept that would combine these things. We wanted to create and elegant, warm place. Cozy, but not trivial. To convey a good vibe. To make you smile. Following the chromatic details, one can see that all elements are connected, creating a whole. We want to thank our partners who worked hard for making everything turn out great: Duval Furniture - furniture; Novambient - ceramic tiles; Ambiflux - tracklighting; Bimwood - doors; Inter Team Construct - finishes and restoration; Dekoart Ceramic - ceramic tiles; Ideamurale - wallpaper Prima Lighting - lighting; Benjamin Moore - paintings; Andreea Iancu - photography
