Yeongdeungpo 40 Pyeong Cafeteria Interior

A place for informal conversation and breaks beside the meeting room

Cafeterias: interior design, construction and cost estimates

Hello! This is Goodterior :)
This 40 pyeong cafeteria interior in Yeongdeungpo creates a rest area beside a meeting room where team members naturally gather and disperse.
The client wanted brief conversations around meetings, 1-person focused work, and lunch breaks to flow together. A pastel blue and light wood palette connects window bar seating, booths, and a lounge.
The 2,450mm ceiling, automatic-door circulation, and glare and noise around the glass meeting room are addressed through half-height partitions, reeded glass, and indirect linear lighting. Floor cable ducts and modular furniture allow flexible seating within a KRW 27,000,000 budget.
Careful assessment of existing air conditioning, blinds, and automatic doors for reuse balances cost and quality. Let us look around.

Layout

Window bar seats and 1-person work zone

Window-side bar tables and high chairs have power supplied through floor cable ducts for convenient laptop and lighting use.
Blinds control glare, while simple ceiling lines and recessed air conditioning reduce an enclosed feeling at the 2,450mm height.

Booths and tables

Alternating bench booths and 2-person tables support short meetings, lunch, and focused work.
Half-height partitions soften meeting noise while preserving views. Modular furniture allows seating changes and rearrangements within KRW 27,000,000.

Lounge and open bookshelves

Lounge sofas and round tables serve casual meetings and breaks, with wood bookshelves maintaining consistency.
Furniture avoids main circulation, with wall and floor outlets distributed for convenient charging.

Meeting room and access routes

Blinds and film opacity control glare and screen views around the glass-partitioned meeting room as needed.
Where automatic-door and meeting-room access overlap, wider aisles and rounded furniture corners minimize collisions.

Let us look at the design concept.
