Of course, each generation has differences. How to see something, how to design something. Each generation has a design tendency that has its own characteristics.
There is nothing that is the best or the worst. Because all of them complement each other and become a kind of unique history. From time to time, we will see various amazing changes, especially in the field of architecture. Of course, these changes are related to the way of thinking from generation to generation and how we respond to changes in the situation around us.
This time, I found a cafe that has a great contemporary design to share. I hope you also enjoy the architectural design that I found in a cafe in the city center.

The front of the cafe building clearly shows the contemporary design that they display. With a firm shape and different from the buildings of the previous generation.
The combination of various materials is clearly visible here. But we can see the dominance of the glass material used. The main building looks tall. It is used for the high facade in the main space to create coolness because the air in this city is quite hot during the day.
Contemporary design usually focuses on neutral colors such as black and brown. Meanwhile, on the front of the building, brick accents are added with brighter colors tending to be reddish to get the focus of attention on the eyes that look.
When entering the building, we can see the high facade which is the hallmark of this cafe. Indeed, this building has several levels of spaces.
The main thing that is the center of attention in this cafe with a contemporary design is the use of graffiti art on the walls. This provides a cool new atmosphere for visitors.
Of course, nowadays people who go to cafes are not just about looking for food and drinks. Visitors tend to look for places that have cool architectural designs. Because usually visitors like to capture moments with family or friends with the presence of cool architectural designs.
The era of social media, where visitors like to share places they have just visited. Of course, with the note that the place is a cool place to tell others.
On the main wall there is a graffiti that is made connected to the entire space. Although the graffiti looks centered on the middle of the wall, the right and left sides of the wall are also related to the main graffiti.
Large and bright graffiti is very good for visitors to capture. To be able to capture the entire graffiti on camera, this cafe has a brilliant way. For that, this cafe provides a photo spot to be able to capture the graffiti together with visitors with their cameras.
Visitors must climb the stairs to the next floor to get to the photo spot. Equipped with a safe glass partition wall, so visitors can take pictures to get the cool graffiti background.
In my opinion, all of these settings are indeed cool. How can this cafe attract visitors besides their delicious menus of course.
In contemporary architecture, the indoor and outdoor areas are made to look as unified as possible.

We can't really see or feel the difference between the outdoor and indoor areas.
This is because the use of glass makes the space between one and the other look limitless.
Then, there is a long staircase area that has a background of a building roof that has a good design. The structure of these stairs is made very suitable for visitors to be able to capture their visit with their friends.
I also captured the moment of my visit to this place, in the photo spot of the stairs which I think is cool. Look, the balance of the layout of the cafe accessories.
Overall, the design in this cafe is very good. Especially for young visitors who like freedom and unique forms of building structures, which are different from buildings in the past. We can explore many new things in this place. What do you think?
