Located in the serene and verdant hills of Dago, Bandung city, The project of De.U Dago as a De.U Coffee 3.0 epitomizes the harmonious blend of modern architecture and natural beauty. This expansive cafe, with its own challenge which are located on hilly land with a contour slope of up to 25m, designed with a deep sensitivity to its surrounding landscape, showcases a unique circular form that not only maximizes panoramic views but also creates a fluid and immersive spatial experience for visitors.
Upon arrival, guests are welcomed by an elongated driveway that gently ascends toward a striking architectural façade, where raw materials, such as exposed earth retaining walls, harmonize with the surrounding natural environment. The entry sequence is meticulously crafted, beginning with a set of steps leading to a prominent circular volume clad in brick, subtly introducing the café’s allure. Visitors are guided along a thoughtfully designed pathway, transitioning from intimate, shaded zones to an expansive, open café area. The large, circular glass walls dissolve the distinction between interior and exterior, fostering an uninterrupted visual dialogue with the verdant landscape and urban fabric of Bandung.
The two-story structure, characterized by its sweeping curves and expansive cantilevered terraces, creates a dynamic bridge-like form that seamlessly integrates into the surrounding environment. Designed to accommodate approximately 200 visitors, the ground floor serves as the primary café space, anchored by a central circular bar that functions as the focal point of the interior. Clad in warm wood tones and featuring a sleek, minimalist design, the bar fosters social interaction and cultivates a welcoming, communal atmosphere. The upper level provides additional seating along with two private meeting rooms, offering flexible spaces suited for both casual encounters and professional gatherings.
The architectural design is rooted in the use of natural materials that enhance its connection to the environment. The walls feature a roughcast wall textured, providing an earthy, organic aesthetic, while exposed brick veneer adds warmth and character. The outdoor areas are equally inviting, with terraced seating that allows guests to fully immerse themselves in the surrounding natural beauty. The careful integration of the building with the site's natural contours ensures that the structure sits gently within its environment, creating a seamless flow between the café and its outdoor spaces.
Sustainability is a key element of the design, with the café maximizing natural ventilation and lighting to reduce energy consumption. This environmentally conscious approach aligns with De.U Dago's ethos of creating a space where architecture and nature coexist in perfect harmony. With panoramic views that stretch across the verdant landscape of Bandung, De.U Dago offers more than just a place to enjoy coffee—it provides a serene retreat where visitors can reconnect with nature in a thoughtfully crafted environment. Every aspect of the design, from the choice of materials to the circular layout, reflects a deep respect for the natural beauty of Dago, making De.U Dago a destination where architecture and nature truly become one.
