Giant Leap Cafe, situated in Houston, is a cafe both owned and designed by Rootlab. I worked on this project as a computational designer in collaboration with Rootlab artists. Our aim was not just to establish the cafe's identity, but also to demonstrate Rootlab's capacity to implement intricate parametric designs.

The cafe's roof features a tessellated metal structure filled with polycarbonate surfaces. This design element serves as an inviting gesture to customers, as it elevates in two specific directions. Firstly, it ascends towards the Barista and ordering counter, and secondly, it rises to meet the cafe's storefront and towards the natural light.
