Stargazer Cafe
Project overview
At Move Architects, we understand that contemporary workspaces need to do more than just provide a place to eat – they need to create an environment that fosters connection, rejuvenation, and productivity. Our latest project, Stargazer, exemplifies this philosophy through thoughtful design and attention to detail.
The heart of Stargazer’s design lies in its masterful manipulation of light. Floor-to-ceiling windows flood the space with natural illumination, while strategically placed lighting creates visual rhythm throughout. Gray cylindrical fixtures with lime green interiors add unexpected energy, suspended at uniform heights to guide movement through the space.
Distinct social zones define the environment, anchored by a continuous sage green banquette along the window line. This fixed seating, paired with contemporary furniture in neutral tones, creates intimate gathering spaces. A living green barrier of plants provides natural privacy while introducing biophilic elements that enhance the dining experience.
Materials and textures play a crucial role in the design’s success. Vertical wood slat paneling wraps the lower walls and service counter, introducing organic warmth that softens the modern aesthetic. This natural element contrasts beautifully with navy blue accent walls and clean white surfaces. Large-format gray tiles provide a sophisticated foundation that allows dramatic design elements to shine.
What sets Stargazer apart is its ability to create a space that feels both elegant and approachable. From morning coffee to afternoon meetings, it provides a sophisticated backdrop for the rhythms of modern work life, demonstrating our vision to enhancing daily experiences through thoughtful design.
