ivy café
This renovation project, following a restaurant take-over, aimed to transform the location into a cozy, greenery-filled oasis in the heart of Leiden's city center. Rather than simply adding new elements, the approach focused on stripping away unwanted features and repurposing the remnants of the demolition.
A key focus of the project was integrating greenery and maximizing natural light. At the front, the high ceilings evoke a sense of openness and airiness, while at the back, large skylights with wooden sunshades above the kitchen replace the previously oppressive atmosphere. These skylights flood the space with sunlight, creating a vibrant, summery ambiance ideal for private events and larger gatherings.
