and by night looking from the outside:





a bit of textual description:
"The architecture of the unusual shopping center extension itself gave the direction in which to look for inspiration. Cafeterias room is 2.4m wide and 36m long, so the idea to create a „train wagon” came at the very first time, while getting acquainted with the object. The interior is definitely not a direct recreation of a train dining car, but rather a free improvisation on the theme. False windows, illuminated from the back, with fuzzy landscape pictures (as if one would be looking through a window of a fast running train) complement the overall impression and look particularly impressive at the dark part of the day."
