Design Details: Phases of the Sun at Bonne Bouche in Ukraine
"On the ground floor of a post-Soviet residential block, the cafe Bonne Bouche opens up to the street with wide glazing, summer terraces and a colorful pastry program. The 200-square-meter (about 2,150 square feet) café brings a bright, sunlit front hall together with a softly lit inner room, wrapping both in rounded terrazzo surfaces and warm yellow upholstery. "Our project's specialty is how it fits into the urban space. We widened the windows and opened the facade as much as possible," Dmytro Bonesko, an art director at Ukraine-based YOD Group, which led the design," told DCN."
"We have expanded the space by adding summer areas. A well-thought-out landscape design turned a piece of lawn in front of the house into a cozy forest glade. A podium with tables on the facade allows you to feel the pulse of the city. In the bright front room, a rounded communal table and the bar counter - both in Italian terrazzo - provide anchors, while yellow upholstered chairs from Ukranian brand Woo "radiate warmth," according to a project description. Deeper inside, a second hall without direct sunlight shifts the atmosphere, as a wall-sized light panel acts like a backlit city light, providing the primary illumination with biodynamic settings that transition from richer morning ambience to a cozier evening glow."
Bonne Bouche Confectionery Café occupies 200 square meters on the ground floor of a post-Soviet residential block in Mohyliv-Podilskyi, Ukraine. The design by YOD Group opens the façade with widened glazing and summer terraces, converting a front lawn into a landscaped forest glade and adding a podium with tables facing the street. Interiors pair a bright sunlit front hall with a softly lit inner room, both wrapped in rounded Italian terrazzo surfaces. A rounded communal terrazzo table and terrazzo bar anchor the front space, while yellow upholstered Woo chairs provide warmth. A wall-sized biodynamic light panel illuminates the inner hall with shifting morning-to-evening settings.
