Industrial Dynamic: A Fusion of Vintage and Minimalist Design

Chaos Design Studio unveils Industrial Dynamic, an Autocare Cafe, blending vintage industrial and minimalist design elements. Inspired by classic vintage cars and old industrial warehouses, the space offers a comfortable yet hip environment for car enthusiasts of all ages.

Imitating the arch windows of old warehouses, the cafe features black coated mild steel arches with PVC leather seatings, creating a distinctive and functional space without compromising the spatial relationship of the two connecting businesses. The 1500sqft semi-detached industrial building houses a car showroom, office space, and a 1100sqft cafe at the corner of the shopfront.

The open layout invites consumers to intermingle, functioning as a waiting area for the car detailing shop while operating as an individual business. The project, which began in October 2019, is located at Lot PT 60458, Kawasaki Perusahaan Sungai Lalang, 08000 Sungai Petani, Malaysia.

Based on extensive research and site analysis, the design team utilized CAD programs for layout plans and 3D visualization to bring the concept to life. The project faced challenges in merging the vintage industrial look preferred by the car detailing shop with the minimalist style of the cafe. The team overcame this by incorporating elements such as bricks, concrete, metal arches, and trusses to resemble a vintage industrial warehouse, while maintaining a minimalist color scheme, materials, and furniture selection.

Charles Khor, Vivian Khor, Serena Foo, and Winni Phan were the key members of the design team, and the project was awarded the Golden A' Design Award in 2021 for its outstanding and trendsetting design.
