archade

Video games are great at transmitting atmosphere: through music, artwork, narrative and also virtual space.  Being interested in games myself, creating a bar with an arcade atmosphere was a fun experience.It's a space where multiple virtual experiences from games are provided, as well as a "real" spatial one, influenced by a retro game aesthetic. Hence, the name Archade (a mix between architecture and arcade). The use of color was also well considered and deliberated, having in mind function and Color Psychology. The limited use of pixels from retro games was spatially translated here through the use of a vibrant palette, minimalist furnishing and the presence of basic shapes throughout the space.
