Tarentum Caffe Bar

Tarentum Caffe Bar is an award-winning architectural masterpiece that exemplifies the harmonious fusion of Ancient Greek aesthetics with contemporary design sensibilities, situated beneath the iconic Ferris Wheel along the coast of Bao'an, Shenzhen, China. This sophisticated 280-square-meter establishment, designed by Liu Bin and team, seamlessly transitions from a refined Greek-inspired café during daylight hours to an elegant whisky lounge after sunset, offering patrons a multifaceted hospitality experience. The interior design showcases a thoughtfully curated palette of warm ivory-colored cement facades, complemented by gentle cream tones that create a serene atmosphere. The space features meticulous attention to detail, incorporating gray leather sofas, blue satin cushions, and gray-blue marble textured tables that echo the Mediterranean Sea's azure hues. A distinctive feature of the design is the open hand-brewed coffee area positioned adjacent to the main coffee bar, while the whisky bar section includes a sophisticated sunken area delineated by half-height cultural stone walls, creating an intimate setting enhanced by moon-shaped cement chandeliers. The establishment's design, which earned the Silver A' Design Award in Interior Space, Retail and Exhibition Design category, masterfully integrates with the Bao'an Coastal Cultural Park, offering visitors panoramic views of the surrounding seascape through innovative folding glass doors that blur the boundaries between interior and exterior spaces. The brand's abbreviated logo, TRT, is artfully incorporated into the wall design with rounded edges, serving both aesthetic and functional purposes for merchandise display, exemplifying the project's commitment to combining practicality with visual sophistication.
