Roastery Kyjov

Concept
The basic idea behind the interior design of the café was to create a multifunctional space for both coffee lovers and other visitors, who have been finding it very difficult to find such a space in the town of Kyjov, where the café is located. The future owners' vision of running the café was more than interesting - the café is intended to function as a pleasant retreat where one can enjoy excellent coffee roasted in its own roastery, and the daily offerings include high-quality beverages and homemade snacks.

The café is focused on daytime operations, where child visitors are also expected, as well as evening and night activities, which will include exhibitions, screenings, lectures, and quieter musical performances. For these purposes, a low stage has been designed within the café, on which there is a piano and variable seating arrangements. The main seating consists of round and square tables with chairs and a long bench next to the wall on the right side of the entrance. In the middle of the layout is a so-called "little room" with a comfortable sofa and a few armchairs.

Materials, Color Scheme
For all planned activities in the café, it was necessary to design a highly variable space while keeping it as unified and cohesive as possible, both in terms of materials and colors. Great emphasis was placed on the use of natural materials, which are employed in their original forms to the maximum extent. The floor is made of very durable and long-lasting polished concrete, and the requirement for an acoustically soundproof ceiling is met by a special heraklit board ceiling in a natural light shade. In two places, walls made of concrete blocks were preserved from plastering.
Another important material is wood - oak, in several forms. To the left of the entrance, a slightly elevated stage made of oak boards is designed, which will serve as a children's play area during the day. On the stage, there are also variable wooden blocks of two sizes - tables and chairs, which are used only as needed; otherwise, they are stacked in a row under the shelf against the wall.

A striking element of the entire interior is the bar counter, designed as a jigsaw made of long oak planks and supporting wooden pillars. To the right of the entrance, there is a long wooden bench with padding against the exhibition wall, and in the middle of the layout, where the so-called "little room" with a comfortable sofa and a few armchairs is located, stand two mobile wooden bookshelves on wheels.
Another notable color accent is the anthracite (almost black) shade on several elements in the interior. Both opposite walls designated for displaying paintings are designed in black chalkboard paint. Next to the stage, chalkboard paint is also used on the adjacent wall, which will be easily accessible for small children and their artistic endeavors. Next to the stage, near the entrance to the restroom, there is a tall partially glazed exhibition cabinet displaying merchandise for sale. The sliding doors leading to the restroom are made in the same anthracite shade and slide into a pocket behind the exhibition cabinet. Next to the doors, there is a large glass panel on the wall made of concrete blocks.

An important material that is also frequently used in the café is metal with a black matte finish. It has been applied in lighting (power strips for spotlights, unusual pendant fixtures above round tables) and especially on a 5m long sheet above the bar counter with the cut-out name of the café - "Pražírna". The same motif is used on the large illuminated sign on the building's façade.
The restrooms of the café also have polished concrete flooring. On the most exposed areas, ceramic tiles in a striking light green color are used, while the walls around the sinks are finished with black matte tiles. Other surfaces are coated with washable paint in light gray and anthracite shades. The restroom areas are equipped with small hanging cabinets near the sinks, and the women's restroom also includes a changing table. Above both sinks, large mirrors are mounted on the walls, with LED strip lighting in aluminum profiles above them.
