SoloPlus+ Playing Video Games, Drinking Coffee

SoloPlus+ Playing video games, drinking coffee is an innovative interior design concept that seamlessly integrates gaming and café culture, created by WST-DESIGN CO.,LTD. This Silver A' Design Award-winning project represents a sophisticated approach to modern entertainment spaces, featuring a two-story establishment where the first floor houses a café area while the second floor accommodates a video gaming center. The design philosophy emphasizes the authentic human experience of gaming, moving away from conventional high-tech aesthetics to create an environment that nurtures genuine social interaction and emotional connection. The space employs a thoughtful combination of materials including white marble, wood, cement, and black steel to create distinct atmospheric zones that transition from elegant relaxation to immersive gaming environments. Through careful spatial planning influenced by traditional Chinese garden design principles and architectural theories of Louis I. Kahn and Carlo Scarpa, the interior successfully manages irregular floor plans to create fluid movement patterns and controlled visual experiences. The design particularly excels in its treatment of acoustic considerations, providing a peaceful refuge from urban noise while facilitating team-based gaming activities. The project, completed in 2016 in Guangzhou, demonstrates exceptional innovation in its dual-purpose functionality, where the café not only serves as a rest area for gamers but also operates as an independent business entity, creating a symbiotic relationship between leisure activities.
