The Lastovička Café was created as a response to the need for a quality community space in the rapidly developing Lastovičky area in Nová Dedinka. At the DOBRÝ INTERIÉR studio, we approached the space with respect for its past and decided to expand the design of the café within the interior by a community dimension. Instead of masking the history of the originally farm building, we decided to reveal its original layers, thus creating a unique dialogue between the old and the new. The result is a cozy, industrial-style space that immediately became a popular meeting point for young families and local residents. As architects, we appreciate the approach of the developer, who decided to add necessary amenities such as a kindergarten, a gym, and a café to the growing area.

The sustainable approach to the design lies in revealing and acknowledging the original structural elements. This raw foundation contrasts with the minimalist solution of the furniture units. The creative concept is based on the color connection of the striking terracotta color on the central bar counter with the surroundings. The rest of the interior is minimalist in tones of gray and white. The black color on the lamps and accessories provides a striking contrast, underlining the industrial character of the space.

The functional layout of the café emphasizes the variability of different types of seating. From large "community" tables to more intimate corners with round tables and benches.
The use of timeless materials such as solid wood and metal guarantees a long life for the interior, which will not be subject to fast fashion trends.

The Lastovička Café is proof that even in a new residential district, a place with a soul can be created if the design is approached with a feeling for the material and with an understanding of the needs of local residents.
