Article source: Nir Portal Architects College girl by day and dirty minded lady by night? A local coffee house that transform itself to a dark alcohol bar when sun goes down. Transforming space, the kind that knows how to create an intimate atmosphere of a neighborhood café and from the exact same components creates the atmosphere of a pickup bar.

In center of space we placed a seating bar and above that bar floating an oak wood construction, like a modern Skelton that simulates a wingspan of a giant bird.

Main walls covered with concrete tiles, embedded with authentic illustration, giving a feel of natural material. The floor is covered with illustrated concrete colored tiles, simulating the historic Tel Aviv’s old houses floors.

The place lighting at night becomes the main player in the show setting, and produces different drama on the same materials that during daytime were perfect setting to coffee house.
