005 KIMYA COFFEE SHOP
A Space for Stories, Silence, and Specialty CoffeeLOCATION: Barcelona, Spain
TYPE: Retail
Kimya Coffee Shop is a café/bookstore located in the Poblenou 22@ district of Barcelona, a vibrant area known for art, design, and innovation. The project is designed as a tranquil refuge for workers and students, offering a space to enjoy specialty coffee and books in a calm, welcoming atmosphere. Inspired by the meaning of "Kimya" (silence in Swahili), the space transitions gradually from lively to serene, with areas for quick visits near the entrance and intimate seating at the back.
The design incorporates Mediterranean aesthetics with natural, neutral materials and a color palette of gray, beige, terracotta, and green. Large bookshelves line the walls, enhancing the sense of calm.
This project was developed as an university project, combining conceptual development, retail space design, and an executive project plan.
