Niko Coffee c/o Hotel San Nikolas

A large circular concrete structure occupies the centre of Niko Coffee. Discovered above the former ceiling, it shifts from a concealed element to the organising core of the café and a first expression of the scale of Hotel San Nikolas. Its brutalist character draws from béton brut: raw concrete, exposed without disguising its true constructive nature.

The skylight above brings natural light into the space and transforms this void into a point of living nature. Plants are silhouetted against the sky, casting changing shadows across the interior. Light extends over the sprayed cellulose ceilings, lime-rendered walls, plaster modules, flooring and handmade ceramic pieces, revealing the distinct character of each material.
