Nestled beneath a canopy of greenery, Casa Síméra reveals itself gradually. A stone path leads to a shaded terrace with low seating and lush planters. The entrance functions more as a garden threshold than a commercial façade—a prelude that invites stillness. Here, visitors can pause, order a coffee, chat with someone, or enjoy a few moments of sunshine before stepping inside.
Inside, the café unfolds as a cozy and intimate space composed of sculpted, contemporary grottoes. Curved benches with individual tables and warm golden lighting create a quiet ambiance, enhanced by acoustic treatment that keeps the space serene even during busier hours. The layout offers flexibility—communal tables for collaboration, quiet corners for focused work, and a continuous bar that encourages interaction with the barista. From solo mornings to informal meetings, the café adapts to various rhythms throughout the day.
A carefully selected palette of materials evokes a sense of harmony—smooth plaster in earthy tones, clay flooring, marble surfaces, stainless steel, indoor greenery, and natural fabrics.
As one moves deeper into Casa Síméra, the architecture transforms. The ceiling opens up into a four-story skylight that fills the space with natural light. A vertical garden will gradually envelop the courtyard walls, while tiered platforms below invite visitors to pause between activities. This central atrium breathes—it is the heart of the space and a transition zone linking the café to the upper levels.
