Kafedromio, a café outside the city of Heraklion, Crete, designed, by ioarchstudio in such a way so as to amplify the “outdoorsy” feeling, offered by the surrounding countryside with the natural materials used inside.

The construction of the skylight further intensifies the feeling of being outside, while in reality you are inside the space. Looking at the sky, the natural light enters and creates a unique atmosphere that you rarely get to experience in coffee shops.

And that’s because it’s not just a coffee shop, but rather a hybrid space that transforms from day to night, from a café to a wine dining space, or a tavern where you can enjoy raki.

While blending with its environment, this indoor caffe also serves as a shelter from it, providing a cozy space where you can keep yourself warm near the fireplace and feel at home among the natural plants around you.
