The major design components for the first shop in Vietnam of Japanese cheese tart brand BAKE CHEESE TART.
[Customers queue in a vertical direction]
To utilize the property's character which faces a street and has a double-height ceiling, The stairs from the entrance to the cashier was designed to show passersby customers are queuing in vertical direction.
It made each tart-display table be stair-like and inside floor for staff be sloped as a result.
In computer rendering, I sometimes apply different lightness on each surface of the same material to emphasize a shade of an object, The same method was used in the real construction, applying lighter color of mortar on horizontal and darker one on vertical surfaces of stairs.
Also the lighter mortar was applied to walls in the staff area and darker one to the customer area and accordingly the amount of light to the staff area was designed brighter so that it got highlighted like a stage.
[Stair-like mirrored ceiling reflect tarts to a street]
Displaying tarts to passersby is important for BAKE, However, the store's floor level is higher than a street by 400mm, Due to that level difference, only slightly side of tarts can be seen from the street.
To complement this, stair-like mirrored ceiling was designed to reflect tarts to the street.
