Excerpt: The Miners Bakery by Neuhausl Hunal and Atelier Reno features a transparent approach to creating an enclosed space within an enclosed space. The interior design integrates a deep-yellow block with windows to a bakery into a neutral space, providing necessary facilities while maintaining airiness. The lightweight envelope creates informal “residual” spaces for seating different characters, enhancing the overall aesthetic appeal.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The deep-yellow block with windows to the bakery touches nothing but the floor. The architects insert this activating object into neutral space. It contains all the necessary facilities for staff and visitors while preserving the airiness of the space.
The orthogonal geometry of the inserted box follows the logic of the load-bearing systém. In dialogue with the diagonally running lines of the lightweight envelope it creates informal “residual” spaces for seating of different characters.
Monochromatic materiality of the yellow ceramic tiles is complemented by the grey and black elements of the furnishings and bar. Transparent approach to creating an enclosed space within an enclosed space to preserve its true identity is analogous to the transparency of pastry production.
