The archive records Manao Café in Dubai with DNL Interiors.
Café interiors compress many functions into a small area. Customer-facing finishes, circulation, service movement, joinery, equipment and cleaning routines can all meet around a relatively small amount of visible stone.
We therefore frame this case study around detail density rather than project size: check final interfaces carefully, keep exposed edges durable, make junctions practical to clean, protect the finish during the pre-opening rush and inspect the final result from both customer and operator viewpoints.
