Project LEA

Less is more – especially when it makes sense.

The historic Propeller building on the Danube riverfront offers a unique architectural context that demands a sensitive approach. That’s why we designed the interior for café to avoid any permanent intervention while clearly communicating the brand’s identity.

The project was based on the principle of reversibility. All new elements – the chrome counter, lighting, orange brand accents and lush greenery – were designed to be fully removable and leave no trace on the original architecture.

At the same time, we brought the brand’s identity into the space – boldly, yet with care. Colors, materials and forms draw directly from Oranžéria’s visual language, transforming it into a three-dimensional experience. The goal was to create an atmosphere that strengthens and builds the brand while enhancing its visual memorability.

Although another concept was ultimately selected, partly due to its overall business approach, we still consider this a valuable case study that helped us test how brands can enter sensitive spaces – thoughtfully, temporarily and with respect.
