Modernist Cafe Interior with Floor-to-Ceiling Glazed Facade

30 September 2019 · Manchester

A long, light-filled dining room runs the full depth of the building, its entire flank opened up by floor-to-ceiling glass panels framing green park trees beyond. Bentwood chairs in pale wood sit at white tables on a polished stone floor — every material chosen to stay out of the way of the view. The slanted timber ceiling draws the eye toward the far end, where the glazed wall curves and the garden fills the frame. Functional architecture doing what the best of it does: making the outside the point of being inside.
