One made a cafe, one made a bar, and one made a farmers market 😭. I will say though they’re all so incredibly beautiful. Completely different vibes and they all ate. I especially like the glamours vibe of Xavier’s. The materials he chose are so gorgeous…but it’s bar-ish. And has no seats.
-
I like Laura’s design the best: it was uncluttered, relaxed, lovely and seemed most functional. Patrick’s space seemed high-maintenance and Xavier’s gave me the sense that I might be overpaying for my drink
-
Laura, again, creates a realistic and usable space.
-
Where is the seating in Xavier's design? When people are sitting at the mirrored bar in Patrick's space how are other customers supposed to see the menu? Who's going to be constantly cleaning all those baskets of fruit sitting on the floor? Who's going to want to get on a ladder to dust all those plates on the wall? Laura is the only one who's created a realistic practical space.
-
These are some very talented designers. All 3 results are gorgeous. That said, having worked in a few coffee shops over the years I would add that none are very functional for the staff and operations, but that is okay. Running a shop is not their profession.
-
I appreciate what Patrick designed, but I would say Laura knocked this one out of the park! I'd hangout at her cafe.
-
Laura’s is the most minimal and traditional looking but I prefer it because it’s uncluttered and soothing.
-
Laura is the only practical cafe option
-
It's amazing how three different designers can bring their unique styles to the same space. This cafe makeover is a true testament to the power of interior design.
-
Laura had the best design. It was functional for the flow of a restaurant and aesthetically pleasing for the guest.
-
Laura has the most realism on every design of hers... i'd totally trust her to upgrade my indoors❤
-
Laura as usual is the only one that actually solves the problem wit her projectual solution.
-
normally i'm not into Patrick's designs but i love his design here. also i think it's cute that he mentions his friend's handrawn tiles. xavier's design gives a strong vibe of A Bar at the Folies-Bergère ! But it has no seating therefore it looks like an exquisite liquor store rather than a cafe. Laura's design looked like a cafe the most but the design is a tad too run of the mill? living in kuala lumpur, there's a cafe that looks quite like this in every corner.
-
If Laura doesn't do anything else, she will put green in her design. And that is ok! Xavier's design...I feel like I would have a mental breakdown in a place like that. Patrick's design is more like a local market than a cafe.
-
Laura created a very comforting space, especially by utilizing shades of green!!! I need Cafe Josephine to exist irl!!!😭❤️
-
all three designers have created amazing cafes. I would feel most comfortable in Laura's café. it exudes a calm, relaxed elegance.
-
Gotta chime in here because I hope AD keeps making these forever! Such incredibly creative designs—they all smashed it. Always some impracticalities, for sure, but it's so fun and freeing to see what these geniuses come up with when they let their imaginations run wild. Helps me remember to think outside the box, and be transported!
-
Loved Patrick and Laura’s designs. Patrick transported me to Italy and Laura’s to my beloved Brooklyn but in the gentrified Park Slope part lol. They were both soothing and felt like places I would chill and drink a matcha latte in. I love Xavier’s as a night spot bar, not really a café. It especially works as a wine bar. Like I can’t pull up, order a coffee, and start working on a play there 😂.
-
I love the three interpretations, and directions in terms of commercial viability as well. One is a conventional neighborhood cafe, the go-to type of a place and attracts regulars. One is an upscale bar style cafe which more of a destination establishment and one that is a ‘farmer’s market’ style cafe thematic and has instagram appeal.
-
Absolutely captivating! It's a testament to the profound impact of a skilled interior designer. Moreover, the absence of client input highlights how crucial it is in shaping the identity and functionality of a café. Customers inherently provide invaluable insights that guide design professionals towards creating truly functional spaces. Despite this, all three designs are undeniably outstanding!
