THE MUSEUM - DEN DA COFFEE
As children, all of our dreams of going to Hogwarts with Harry Potter, or getting lost in the magical Nevermore Academy, were all fantasies. It is not until adulthood that we realize that dreams only seen on film or drawn on paper can still be realized in real life thanks to the magic of the "magic wand" named architecture.
Therefore, when receiving the project for the branch to celebrate the 10th anniversary of Den Da, Ksoul still wanted to keep the brand's signature antique materials but in the most impressive version ever. Take advantage of the new prime location of the branch, near the University of Medicine and Pharmacy on Hong Bang Street - where there is a large number of potential customers who are students. Therefore, Ksoul has come to the bold decision to create an old biology institute, which contains ancient vestiges. It is like taking your mind to a school with many hidden mysteries, not only for you to explore but also to study, enjoy coffee and open up more unique check-in spaces.
Creating a mark for the new Den Da branch right from the facade, Ksoul chose to place a mini t-rex dinosaur bone model, to bring the soul of archeology and steal the attention of anyone passing by. In particular, to match the old and somewhat mysterious feeling, Ksoul used a funnel-shaped entrance, creating quite an attractive depth. Along with the old treated wall, paint with antique effect is used throughout the whole. Entering the shop will take you into many emotional levels from surprise, strangeness, but also very familiar. Thanks to the perfect combination of French Indochina architecture and laboratory, expressed through curved wooden arches, concrete floors, contrasting light and dark wooden floors and the use of furniture leaning more towards carpentry materials mixed with stainless steel materials.
Besides, every detail placed in the space is a deliberate calculation, to create a true miniature old biological laboratory of Ksoul. From the scientific descriptions present in the lobby, the large glass cabinet displaying countless butterfly specimens, to the valuable miniatures with the presence of many animal models such as camels and parrots, a pair of storks flying in mid-air, replacing the usual chandeliers in the atrium area. And the most favorite of all, must be the scene "Good land birds perch" that has created many artistic photos recently. Instead of wasting a large space separating tables and chairs in the space, Ksoul created a "nest" surrounded by lighted glass panels, displayed like a museum, with the convergence of peacocks beautiful, wild white owls in miniature gardens and illuminated by moonlight at night or can imagine the globe, our common home, the green vegetation and animals of we. Even the green color is improvised by Ksoul in the space with plants and furniture, contributing to successfully creating a mossy and close-to-nature landscape.
