Kafedromio

Location: Manou Katraki 282, Heraklion, Crete, Greece
Design and production: ioarchstudio

Information: Α café outside the city. Designed in such a way as to amplify the “outdoorsy” feeling offered by the surrounding countryside with the natural materials used inside. Τhe construction of the skylight further intensifies the feeling of being outside while in reality you are inside the space. Looking at the sky, the natural light enters and creates a unique atmosphere that you rarely get to experience in coffee shops. And that’s because it’s not just a coffee shop, but rather a hybrid space that transforms from day to night, from a café to a wine dining space, or a tavern where you can enjoy raki.
While blending with its environment, this indoor cafe also serves as a shelter from it, providing a cosy space where you can keep yourself warm near the fireplace and feel at home among the natural plants around you.
