Colo Coffee Usaquén

CREARQ as Designers

Colo, a space for coffee, friends, music, and people. A space for moments, memories and coffee.

Through its design, we wanted to encourage people to find different ways to use the space. We imagined a place for all kinds of people. As a result the areas have different purposes that create several unique ambiences.

All areas were created for day and night use. At night, lights create a cozy atmosphere that invites people to switch their coffee for a nice beer.

Our goal was to change peoples perception of a coffee shop. Transform a space that it’s usually perceived as classic and traditional into a modern and innovative one.

However always maintaining the cozy and warm feeling that people get from coffee shops.

We achived our goal by creating a modern atmosphere using materials that inspire serenity and a tropical feeling, characteristic that identify the coffee plantation scenery.
