Deep red walls and dark furnishings are some of the features that interior design studio Sivak & Partners used to create a cosy atmosphere inside this cafe in Ukraine.
Located to the south of the country in the port city of Odessa, the Daily cafe has been designed by Sivak & Partners to be a versatile yet intimate space where locals could stop by for a variety of occasions.

"Here you can enjoy some quiet time with a book and a cup of coffee, spend some time in the company of friends, or share a little table for two on a date," said the studio, which is headed up by architect Dmitriy Sivak.
"This place almost has the atmosphere of an arthouse movie ? from every perspective you get the sense of a scene where people are casually interacting with each other."
The 76-square-metre space previously played host to a cheese shop, so the studio began by completely gutting the interiors to make the layout more suitable for a cafe.
It is now divided into two zones ? a main service area and a more relaxed sitting room.
The walls of the former space have been roughly covered with a warm, sand-coloured plaster.

"We worked with our contractor for three weeks to try and find a suitable shade [of plaster] and guess how it would look in the light of the sun since all [the construction work] happened in the late autumn during overcast weather," Maksym Iuriichuk, chief designer at the studio, explained to Dezeen.
