Breakers咖啡廳

Breakers咖啡廳的設計，是davidclovers第一個完整的品牌概念與設計方案。把現存的柱子當作整個咖啡廳的焦點并且加以利用，以便可以重塑空間。對breakers的設計使人們的注意力從墻體轉移到天花板，帶給人們一種全新的開闊感與延伸感。整個咖啡廳設計使用了大膽的組裝手法- 混合了當代幾何形體，抽象圖形與簡易可回收材料- 塑造了一種全新的感受。咖啡廳的設計還創造了一種具有引人注目的形態，極度多彩并且充滿生命力的環境。與此同時，設計保持了開放式邊界，保證了舒適度，以便讓人們在咖啡廳內休憩與放松。

davidclovers’ design for breakers café is their first full brand concept and design project. Using the existing columns as focal points to re-shape the space, the design for breakers shifts the attention away from the walls to the ceiling, giving it a new sense of openness and extension. Using a mixture of contemporary geometry, abstract graphics and rusticated recycled materials, the design bravely assembles a new sensibility of the café experience. Flanking the gym and the pool, it is an intensely colorful and vibrant environment with spectacular forms while at the same time, the design remains open ended and comfortable to retreat and relax in.

曲線形式的柜臺和定制設計黑板菜單把餐廳的兩個“腦葉”：飲品和食物，安排的井井有條。咖啡桌（利用回收的榆木制成）和休閑椅被柱子和拱形結構天花板表面的旋轉式圖形藝術設計（由davidclovers設計）所掩蓋，在有參差起伏的地面平臺的入口處歡迎您的到來。圖形直接由電腦模型設計產生，激光掃描并在3D模式下繪制藝術品。當一個人逐漸步入拱頂之間的空間時，私密度增加，拱頂的設計滲透了私密程度的變化。柱子表面的圖形藝術設計在構思時考慮了塑造空間感這一概念- 天花板及柱頭處色彩密度最高。沿柱體往下到達柱礎，紋理逐漸頻繁，顏色逐漸褪去。由此產生了一組離奇的2D和3D圖像結合的效果，并且將這種效果發散到整個空間。變形蟲形狀的公共桌子（利用回收的船只鋪裝板材）倚靠在柱子旁，后部的圖像逐漸達到高潮，形成一幅巨大的泡沫跟沖浪的壁畫。對標志，外賣，餐巾紙和杯子的構思設計，均結合了室內設計元素。標志中斜向一端的字母“K”參照了柱子的幾何形態，并且“打破”了“breakers”這個單詞。結合柱狀圖形藝術設計，這些配件及細節根據環境圖形建成，并且將咖啡廳的氛圍進一步延伸并且融合進整個淺水灣住宅的大環境中。

The curvilinear counter and custom designed chalkboard menus organize the two lobes of the restaurant; beverage and food. Coffee tables – designed using recycled elm wood – and lounge chairs welcome you at the multi-leveled entrance, covered by the swirling graphic artwork (custom designed by davidclovers) of the column vaulting overhead. Formed directly from computer models and laser scanned to three dimensionally map the art work, the vaults imbue a degree of intimacy as one moves into the space. The artwork is conceived spatially – the color density is the richest on the ceilings and “capitals” of the columns. Along the stem and base, the texture becomes more intense and the color density fades, producing an uncanny set of combined two dimensional and three dimensional effects emitting throughout the space. The amoeba-shaped communal tables – designed using recycled ship planking – nestle up against columns behind which the graphics culminate in a large mural of foam and surf. The logo, takeaway items, napkins and cups are conceived in tandem with the interior design. The sideways “k” in the logo takes the geometry of the columns and “breaks” the word breakers. Combined with clips of the columnar artwork, these accessory items build upon the environmental graphics and further extend the mood of breakers Café into the Repulse Bay property at large.
