“Harli Kafe” is a coffee shop chain located in different junctions of the city of Tirana. This specific location is in "Rruga e Barrikadave", which is a very high traffic area, remaining busy during the day and night time.

Our proposal for the coffee shop takes the high influx of clients in consideration when calculating the capacity for the coffee shop by creating a balanced distribution of the staff and client services. The service bar is located at the end of the space, but is easily perceived before you enter the coffeeshop through its glass facade.

The space is divided in three main areas which are the indoor area, a partial outdoor area which can easily turn into indoors by closing the sliding facade elements, and an outdoor area. A strong element of its architecture is the pendant ceiling comprised of 3D rectangular copper-coloured mesh, which is highlighted by the Led lights beneath it, resulting in shadows of the mesh to reflect on the ceiling.

 The colour palate is a strong contrast of colours between the copper-coloured ceiling mesh, the deep blue used in walls and bar, and a warm yellow and wooden colour used in some of the furniture. We also incorporated trees and plants in the interior design of the space.
