The concept of my design project of the La Perle
bakery focuses around the idea of repetitive wooden panels as a rhythm and
language that defines the space inside the structure. They lead you on a
journey through the building, revealing and hiding certain areas, and therefore
creating a sense of mystery and intrigue. When a view is partially blocked, it
fascinates the viewer and encourages them to take a closer look. This is
especially evident when one is sitting in the café, the gaps between the panels
reveal the chefs hard at work in the bakery; this lets the customer interact
with the location in which their food is made.
The heavy solid wooden panels are placed directly along the street
footpath, guiding the customer along and into the café. As well as being part
of the structure, they also extend to make shelves for storage and tables for
seating making them multifunctional and dynamic. These timber boards also let a
lot of light into the building, at the same time casting beautiful, regular
shaped shadows, which make the cafe, bakery and living quarters an exciting
place to be.
This is the sheet that went into my portfolio detailing the final project of the year.
