For the design of this matcharia, we sought to escape the traditional, with minimalist references that were translated into the organic forms that constitute the concept of the project.

DipoMuria commercial center in Semarang, Central Java, Indonesia, hosts a photo studio, restaurant, café, and retail shop and is modelled after an urban village typology. On one hand this makes the design fit better into the low rise and small-scale residential neighborhood and on the other hand also gives the possibility to play with the volumes and provide more experienceable sequences of in-between spaces to explore and hang out. The volumes are grouped around a central courtyard, the heart of the ensemble which is connected to the outside but also to terraces on the second floor. The courtyard features a slide for kids to play but is also usable as backdrop for action and group photo shootings. The village-like massing is split horizontally through change in materiality and color having a more grounded plinth level containing all the outer stairs, materialized by rough plaster and a smoother and reflecting upper level in form of polycarbonate façade cladding.

Muka & Fartuk is a cozy cafe with breakfasts, lunches, freshly made coffee and at the same time a shop is offering a wide choice of sourdough breads, pastries, cakes and puff pastries.
The basis of Muka & Fartuk’s concept is the memories associated with bread from childhood or adolescence: to bite off the edge of a fresh loaf while running back home; the very first taste of a croissant, freshly baked grandma’s pies in the village. From all these pleasant emotions, the main slogan of the M & F was created – the happiest stories about bread. After all, everyone has their own, and they are certainly delighted.
Greeting the two owners of Yama coffee brand Ky and Phuong Ksoul was surprised and energized with the remarkable power of youth and passion that they used to grow their products. Knowing that YAMA has been continuously putting effort to improve their beverage product quality and adapt to the taste of the locals really had us appreciate and respect them even more.
The design of this new location actually is inspired by the original brand recognition of YAMA You Are My Angel, picking up some interesting additional figures while attempting to keep the images that has been familiar to the majority of their supporters, producing a fresh and tight connection between the phases of their development. Following the fact that Tay Ninh is in its modernization, Ksoul decides to use the cement gray coloration which represents the urbanization concept, and yellow which is the brand color and also the reminder for the sun that has shined on this land. It is also safe to say that this location could be the beginning of the streak of luck for YAMA because yellow happens to be the most trending color in 2021.
