Mizzi serves up Royal Parks coffee kiosks

摘要

Mizzi Studio’s coffee house overlooking the Serpentine Lake in London’s Hyde Park has opened.The semi-transparent kiosk takes its inspiration from an ancient Japanese tea house with its canopy designed to resemble a stingray swimming through water, said the architects.The 11 × 9m canopy is reinforced with carbon and glass fibre and has been hand-painted to give an aged-brass finish. It is textured on the underside with snakeskin-inspired, coffer-like dimples. It tapers towards its edges and cantilevers over the glass structure below to create open-air seating, with capacity for 60 people to sit under and around it.
