Terrace Café – Catarino Hotel, Hargeisa, Somaliland
Interior Design & Furniture Project
This Somaliland cafe interior project reflects WTBConcept’s approach to terrace cafe design for hotels, combining comfort, style, and functionality. Designed as a key social destination within the hotel, this terrace café project combines comfort, aesthetics, and functionality to enhance guest interaction and overall hotel experience.
Cafés within hotels serve more than a functional purpose; they act as social hubs where guests relax, connect, and spend quality time. With this understanding, WTBConcept approached the Catarino Hotel terrace café with a strong focus on atmosphere, spatial comfort, and visual identity, ensuring the space complements the hotel’s character while standing out as a destination in its own right.
Design Concept & Spatial Atmosphere
The design concept for the terrace café was developed around the idea of open-air comfort and contemporary elegance. The café’s terrace location offered an opportunity to blend interior design elements with an outdoor ambiance, creating a refreshing and relaxed environment suitable for different times of day.
Natural textures, warm tones, and balanced material selections were used to establish a welcoming atmosphere. The design language emphasizes simplicity and comfort while maintaining a modern aesthetic that aligns with international hospitality standards. This approach allows guests to enjoy the café as both a casual retreat and a vibrant social setting.
Project Scope & Interior Planning
WTBConcept delivered a comprehensive café interior design and furniture solution, covering all key components of the terrace café space. The project scope included:
-
Seating layout and circulation planning
-
Custom café furniture and seating solutions
-
Lighting design for daytime and evening use
-
Material and surface selection suitable for terrace conditions
-
Decorative elements and spatial detailing
Each design decision was made to ensure ease of movement, guest comfort, and operational efficiency. The layout supports flexible seating arrangements, allowing the café to accommodate both small gatherings and larger social groups without compromising comfort.
Furniture & Seating Solutions
Furniture selection played a crucial role in defining the café’s character. Comfortable seating options were designed to encourage longer stays, while durable materials were chosen to withstand daily use and terrace conditions.
The furniture design balances aesthetics with practicality, ensuring easy maintenance and long-term performance. Seating arrangements were carefully planned to create intimate zones within the open terrace, enhancing privacy while maintaining an open and social atmosphere.
Lighting, Materials & Open-Air Experience
Lighting design was tailored to support the café’s dual function as a daytime relaxation area and an evening social venue. Soft ambient lighting creates a warm and inviting mood after sunset, while natural light during the day enhances the open-air experience.
Material choices focused on durability, comfort, and visual harmony. Natural finishes and textures were integrated to complement the terrace setting, reinforcing a sense of connection between interior design and the surrounding environment. These elements work together to create a café space that feels both refined and effortless.
