Harry’s

In a cityscape where tradition and modernity frequently converge, Harry’s unfolds as a quiet but deliberate dialogue between the two, a space that feels both disarmingly familiar and unmistakably contemporary.

The project doesn’t simply reference the visual language of the urban café; it reframes it through a lens of material honesty, tonal restraint, and architectural precision. Visitors are welcomed by a rich, layered composition of surfaces: glossy oxblood ceramic tiles wrap the front bar, offset by exposed concrete columns, brushed steel details, and visible ceiling conduits, elements that celebrate the building’s utilitarian heritage. These industrial gestures are softened by tactile interventions: green leather upholstery and custom dark-wood joinery.

Light was treated as a narrative layer rather than a functional afterthought. Above the bar, HAY’s Brim Pendants in bottle-green glass contrast the stark stainless steel where on the opposite Marset’s Atlas fixtures light the classic dark wooden pass. These lighting choices not only shape mood, but reinforce the project’s chromatic language. Despite its spatial clarity, Harry’s resists over-definition. It doesn’t posture as retro or minimal, nor does it chase trend or nostalgia.

“Sometimes you enter a place and you feel that it has been loved and preserved for long time, it feels familiar without being introduced to it. Other times a brand new place sparks a sense of refreshing change, a new direction. We were looking to DISRUPT the familiar to surpass the norm, to achieve the sense of
"this must be the right place", not too old, nor too clinical, a place kept running and preserved”
