Known for its expressionist and art d\u00e9co vocabulary, the building contrasts with the surrounding historicist context and maintains a prominent position along the Puerto Chico waterfront. This architectural identity, defined by cylindrical geometries, horizontal bands, porthole windows, red brick, and grey plasterwork, served as the primary reference for the project.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/interiors\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">interior<\/a> design reinterprets these elements through a contemporary architectural language. Curved forms, circular components, and fragmented volumetry structure the space, generating a continuous layout that supports the programmatic requirements of the workshop, coffee area, and service spaces. Geometry is used both as a visual strategy and as a functional organizing tool.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"caf\u00e9's curved interiors by zooco estudio reflect art deco siboney building in spain\" width=\"818\" height=\"613\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/atypique-artisan-workshop-and-specialty-coffee-inside-the-iconic-siboney-building-9-691b226a8821e.jp.jpeg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.davidzarzoso.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">David Zarzoso<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Stone and Steel Sculpt Atypique\u2019s Interior by Zooco Estudio<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Material selection by Zooco Estudio\u2019s <a href=\"http:\/\/www.zooco.es\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">design team<\/a> reinforces the project\u2019s connection to the local context. The counter is built from Cantabrian stone, specifically split limestone from Val de San Vicente, forming a monolithic volume that anchors the interior. Custom-designed furniture and lighting elements contribute to the spatial character. Stainless steel is used as the primary material for these pieces, chosen for its resilience and ease of maintenance. The Atp28 and Atp L400 luminaires incorporate references to art d\u00e9co and rationalist design while integrating contemporary technical solutions. Lighting plays a key role in articulating the space, highlighting material textures, emphasizing curvature, and guiding circulation. The overall approach reflects an interest in Nordic design principles, including formal clarity, functionality, and a direct relationship with natural materials.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The concept of \u2018Naturally Different,\u2019 which informs the venue\u2019s gastronomic offering, is extended to the spatial configuration, resulting in an interior that engages with the architectural identity of the Siboney building while adapting it to a new use. Atypique positions itself as a contemporary interior that maintains continuity with its architectural context through reinterpretation rather than replication.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"
