Summer Cafe in Russia

The two words, Summer and Russia don't always come to mind, but in this iteration, that is precisely what this architecture is about - a cafe in modern day Russian town named Bashkortostan. This piece of building holds many significance to coffee and and the general idea of cafes; but it also has a very functional side to it.

First of all, the color scheme is very complimentary to the coffee - the ideal coffee is brown after the mixture of creamer - the shape of the building - polygons in ring like unison allows it to depict the crushing of ice into a frappuccino or mocha - the idea that coffee isn't just that hot coffee with creamer - instead it's something much more - like frappuccino. Of course, the Russian winter is also perfect for hot drinks like coffee, and the color scheme displays it's purpose nicely, with the odd shape an added boast to customer recognition when they want a warm drink.

The function and eco-friendliness of this particular building is also heralded - it is made of particle board on the inside and more refined particle board on the outside - I'm sure that the particle board used is heavily refined and laminated so as to not drop unwanted ingredients in customer's drinks along with solid wood trusses to support the structure as a whole and ties in the homely aesthetic of the building. A reason for this is because this can be a temporary building - as it is relatively easy to take down after it has served its purpose or have been closed.
