Burger Lab Diner – Between Bauhaus Clarity and Brutalist Weight
A raw and unapologetic space, Burger Lab is where Bauhaus discipline meets Brutalist mass. At its core, the concept channels the Bauhaus belief in functional clarity—where form follows need—but roots it in the heft and honesty of Brutalist architecture. It’s a space of stripped-back expression, where material truth becomes the aesthetic.
The shell is cast in poured concrete, textured and tactile, left exposed in deliberate restraint. Its imperfections become character. Lighting is composed in a strict geometric grid, a suspended linear system that draws from Bauhaus compositional rationality, while referencing the infrastructural poetry of exposed Brutalist ceilings.
Furnishings are designed as architectural insertions: thick, cantilevered wood tables and seating, float within metal mesh frames, evoking the tension between weight and lift. Central communal tables stand on solid cylindrical bases in metal sheets.
What softens the austerity is the rhythm, the spatial choreography of light, form, and repetition. Every fixture, joint, and profile is resolved with intention. There is no decoration, only structure.
Burger Lab is a study in reduction and presence, a conversation between two powerful design languages: Bauhaus modernism and Brutalist monumentality.
