Mexican studio Worc used polycarbonate walls and ever-changing lighting to create an immersive sensory experience for a Yoozoo boba tea shop.
Located in Mexico City, the Yoozoo shop uses translucent polycarbonate walls as a light diffuser to manipulate natural and artificial light, creating an ambience that shifts throughout the day.
Worc wrapped the store’s facade in polycarbonate to draw people in. At night, the diffused light gives it a “bright and radiant” glow, the studio said.
Upon entering, visitors step into a corridor that connects the ordering area to the seating area, gradually immersing them in the space. At the end of the passage, a private seating space that can’t be seen when entering the store reveals itself.
“The idea was to deliver an absolutely unexpected space,” Worc said. “This final space, which is never visible at any point from the corridor, suddenly reveals itself in a spacious and welcoming spirit that disconnects you from the busy street.”
Like the rest of the store, the seating area is wrapped in translucent polycarbonate, allowing natural light to filter through a dome while neon light strips create a soft, ambient glow…
