Indonesian architects Budi Pradono architects have designed the interior of a frozen-yoghurt shop in Jakarta, Indonesia, based on melting ice floes.
White, back-lit slabs are suspended from the ceiling of the space, which is composed of a bar, seating area and storage facility.
The shop is due to open next month.

–
Blu Apple
Frozen Yoghurt café, Jakarta
Designed by Budi Pradono is to be opened to the public by 1st week of August 2009.
The interior for this café selling Frozen Yoghurt and pancake is like ice floes that fly in the air, some have to melt and fall since the world is getting hotter and hotter, all furniture are made completely white and arranged informally.
There are 30 types of Indonesian typical fruits that are presented as toppings on frozen Yoghurt and hot pancake.

too much information. makes me dizzy

good god…the concept driver for this design is based on “melting ice floes”…what an ironic way to highlight our current environmental blight. Overuse of materials and manufacturing processes to build out a concept that they are fully contributing to.

no sharp edges
cool
July 30th, 2009 at 3:30 pm
Wow. I love the forms used in this project…very cool indeed, definately a unique place to eat your yoghurt…..
July 30th, 2009 at 3:41 pm

July 30th, 2009 at 4:04 pm

mr t., Im going to guess you don’t like curvy or smooth things.
July 30th, 2009 at 5:20 pm
A cave of Ice for a frozen yogurt cafe,, Nice ambience!
July 30th, 2009 at 5:36 pm
cant wait to eat yoghurt at blu apple.
Cool design.

That must be some seriously expensive Frozen Yogurt.
July 30th, 2009 at 9:36 pm
i agree with mr. t. furthermore i must ask, when will we get over the cellular structure ornament, applied with a bit of subdivision smoothing, and do something really integral and useful?

The Design is amazing….I like the ice melting concept..No sharp edges and organic form concept…so dynamic!!!

Cody, I don’t understand your comment.
Why would you suggest that I don’t like curvy or smooth things?
That would be making the incorrect assumption that I would be judging the merit of this project strictly on the form. I suggest you read what I said and maybe think about it….The irony of this project was just too much not to point it out.
a wasteful project contributing to the concept that it is based on it’s just so superficial.

nice concept, and how you to realize it.
I know budipradono with the ideology of “glocal” which is focus in locality, and naturality in architectural concept,
not just form, shape, and sculp,,
in this project the form is different, look a bit organic, and the design seems to be mainstream, than “glocal” taste…,
Where is your sense bout materialism, and locality? Is it already gone somewhere?
or you just follow the mainstream “organic” style, afraid to be call ancient,or just wanna be called up to date
There’s somebody tell me, where is the glocal goes on…?,,
July 31st, 2009 at 4:02 am
Speechless..
Architecture + global warming issue = cool design
July 31st, 2009 at 5:06 am
woooow….it’s from indonesia….my country…..I LOVE INDONESIA
it’s very fantastic design, very amazing work ^o^

melting pot….white as yogurt
i see the blue….so stunning i love it
but i don’t like the lighting arrangement
not dramatic yet….please enhance the effect…of light
LDP (light distribution panel) ex. Korea is much better…..than visible straight neon tube…just input…
great & excelent design mr.pradono!
July 31st, 2009 at 9:26 am
It reminds me one of the Antoni Gaudi`s project.
July 31st, 2009 at 11:49 am
its simple, catchy, sophisticate…
Speechless…
August 1st, 2009 at 7:56 pm
no offense….
glocal didn’t mean it should be used for the local material…
it can be transform into the concept…(i think)
maybe just simple concept then how it can connected with a global condition…
August 2nd, 2009 at 1:42 am
Well made.. Everything is hand made I assumed.. Fabb..
August 3rd, 2009 at 7:35 am

August 4th, 2009 at 5:23 pm

August 10th, 2009 at 7:01 am

August 31st, 2009 at 10:06 am
wonderful design..and unique
September 1st, 2009 at 5:40 am
first impression it looks abit more ‘toyo-ito’ish
December 11th, 2009 at 10:00 am
i don’t see the indonesian character,,,is it gone already?,,,

New Year 2010 critics:
Great minded design ideas of BPA.
The design form relate with the yogurt characteristics.
But it will be nicelly done if all the form integrated into one fluid form…it will be fantastic architecture expression…
Cheers,
