Café and Juicebar space had the working title Pandabar. We liked the Panda theme so the visual form became a metaphor on the spots of black and white bear. The whole area, and especially the floor, is the alternation of dark and light spots. A second major theme is the composition of bamboo islands, forming boundary of the area.
Operations take place at two levels. At the lower level there is a Juicebar, behind it at the elevated level, there is the café. We made up the podium to separate the two subjects more explicitly, for the effect of gradation and to make the café attractive, although it is inserted in the second plan.
Seating, in addition to seats at the bar, takes place in four areas: two closed bays with benches in purple leather, lined with bamboo and lying on the dark "spots" of tropical wood flooring,

Seating, in addition to seats at the bar, takes place in four areas: two closed bays with benches in purple leather, lined with bamboo and lying on the dark "spots" of tropical wood flooring,
open seating on the stage and seating at front façade are on the contrary on the white stone floor. The solution offers a quiet, intimate space as well as open space with comfortable armchairs.
Bars and back walls of house of the two plants located in the corners are solved in dark colours and materials - black African granite, artificial stone, glass and BARRISOL. The back wall of the house has has an informative function, and therefore two tall vertical elements – totems have been requested. Due to investor's decision only one was left - in the back corner of the café.
On the sides of the upper blocks there are light boxes for advertising space.
The whole area gives the impression of an oasis thanks to the rich daily light and high bamboo
