Summary • The Hibrew Coffee & Cuisine in Jawa Barat, Indonesia, now features a refreshed look, redesigned by Simpul Studio • The design features transparent and frosted glass, a muted palette and an indoor-outdoor dialogue with a courtyard
Simpul Studio’s renovation of Hibrew Coffee & Cuisine transforms a six-year-old neighborhood café into a contemporary gathering spot while honoring its original house-like charm. Rather than altering the building’s overall form, the architects reinterpreted the façade through cost-effective gestures: punched openings, layers of transparent and frosted glass and linear accents that play off the existing pitched roof. This strategic intervention invites passersby inside without sacrificing the humble, residential character that defines the site.
