Afterhours – Café Interior Design and Renovation in Singapore
Project Overview
Overview
Afterhours is a contemporary café designed by Skai Atelier as part of a commercial F&B renovation project in Singapore. The space was envisioned as a relaxed destination where guests can unwind after a long day, offering an atmosphere that feels both intimate and inviting.
As experienced F&B interior designers, our approach focused on a café environment that balances strong visual identity with operational efficiency, integrating thoughtful spatial planning, material selection, and lighting into a cohesive dining experience.
Design Concept
The concept behind Afterhours centres on a warm and atmospheric café that transitions effortlessly from daytime coffee service to evening social gatherings. A layered material palette and controlled lighting create depth and comfort, with seating zones planned for both individual relaxation and group conversations.
- — Creating a welcoming entrance experience
- — Designing an intuitive customer ordering flow
- — Maximising seating within a compact café layout
- — Using lighting to shape mood and ambience
Strategy
F&B interior design strategy
Our commercial F&B renovation strategy focused on optimising circulation so both customers and staff can navigate the space efficiently. A visually prominent service counter anchors the layout while maintaining clear sightlines across the dining area, with seating arrangements planned to create comfortable zones without overcrowding.
Outcome
