When you step into Chef Kecik at Eco Majestic, the inviting ambiance and carefully crafted design greet you with a warm welcome. However, beyond the mouthwatering pastries and the chic interior lies a story of dedication, skill, and craftsmanship. This journey began with a vision for a unique pastry shop and was brought to life through the expert workmanship of CL Reno, particularly their innovative use of a steel mezzanine platform using hollow beams.
The Vision: From Concept to Reality
Chef Kecik, affectionately known as “The Kampung Boy Who Bakes,” envisioned a space where traditional flavors could meet modern design—a place where customers could not only enjoy delicious pastries but also feel a sense of comfort and style. The task of transforming this vision into a physical space fell to CL Reno, a renowned renovation company known for its attention to detail and high-quality workmanship.
The Challenge: Maximizing Space with a Mezzanine Platform
One of the primary challenges was maximizing the limited space available while ensuring that the bakery remained open and inviting. CL Reno proposed the construction of a steel mezzanine platform, an elegant solution that would create additional usable space without compromising the bakery’s airy feel. This mezzanine would allow for additional seating and storage, crucial for the operation of the cafe.
The Craftsmanship: Hollow Beam Construction
CL Reno’s team employed hollow beams to construct the mezzanine platform, a choice that balanced strength and aesthetics. Hollow beams, being lighter yet incredibly sturdy, allowed for the creation of a sleek structure that could support the necessary weight without appearing bulky. This construction technique required precise engineering and careful installation to ensure that the platform was both safe and visually appealing.
The use of steel and hollow beams was not just a practical choice but also an aesthetic one. The exposed beams, painted to match the modern interior of the bakery, added a touch of industrial chic to the space. This design choice complemented the minimalist decor of Chef Kecik, creating a harmonious blend of traditional craftsmanship and contemporary design.
The Result: A Culinary Haven
Today, Chef Kecik stands as a testament to what can be achieved when vision meets craftsmanship. The steel mezzanine platform not only serves its functional purpose but also adds to the overall aesthetic of the bakery, making it a standout feature of the space.
For CL Reno, the project was an opportunity to showcase their ability to combine practicality with design, creating a space that is both beautiful and functional. For Chef Kecik is the realization of a dream—a place where he can share his passion for baking with the world.
