Welcome to the BGD Café Case Study project, a reimagined idea of the standard café. This café highlights the importance of the spiritual connection to both the physical and intuitive aspects of a space. Our goal is to enhance the awareness of mindfulness within a space and reframe the standard notions of the restaurant hustle culture. Ensuring that guests feel compelled to connect to their environment, who they are with, and what they are consuming.
At first glance, the Café is visually beautiful, but very much in line with the current roster of up-and-coming innovative hospitality projects pouring out of many luxury design studios found in the market. Upon further inspection, there are some very purposeful and unique elements that we have interwoven into the many layers that make up a truly innovative and thoughtful project. At BGD we feel that this project exemplifies the future of design, and how Wellness will play an important role in its success story.
The following page walks you through the key elements implemented in this immersive Café Case Study utilizing our innovative BGD Energy Assessment.
Organic Scent is subtly misted within the air purification system to create a sense of location and place. Also, natural light is brought in through the oversized skylights and window walls. Large-scale biophilia is used throughout the space for both its emotional and health benefits, creating intimate conversation opportunities and bringing the scale of the outdoors in.
Crystal-charged and purified water supplied through crystal-encrusted encased glass tubes holds visual space as the focal point of the dry bar, not only adding beauty and health benefits but also serving to ground the energy of the space.
Recharge & Connection zones featured along the left wall allow the guests to be transported into personalized locations or moods. Choices range between scenic locations or light and color therapy modalities utilized for optimal mental health benefits.. This is brought to life by surround video screens integrated within each spherical nook. Each zone is customizable, whether it be for personal reflection or an animated chat over coffee.
An open lounge seating area that mimics the terrain of the mountains allows for a variety of conversation areas. This laid-back seating area promotes dynamic conversations and interactions.
Conscious consumption is promoted. Nonalcoholic drinks are offered such as mocktails, adaptogens, CBD drinks, and much more. For the food element, the café serves small plates that use locally sourced foods per season providing guests with the highest quality foods.
