Project Brief

To create a refined, serene, and sensorial cafe environment that evokes elegance through softness, simplicity, and sculptural expression. The space should offer an immersive, almost theatrical experience where patrons feel calm yet inspired by the cake-baking process.

Project Innovation/Need

Bal Bakes introduces a cinematic spatial experience to the cake & cafe scene by merging classical detailing with a theatrical and minimal softness.

Design Challenge

Spatial layout and planning of the space was critical to ensure both cafe and cake baking operations were possible within such a small space

Sustainability

Mostly locally sourced materials and finishes to reduce the carbon footprint
