The design centers on a kiosk inspired by concrete water pipes, which play an important role in urban sewer systems. Located in a lively urban area, the kiosk is intended to serve multiple functions, enhancing customer experiences. The design concept takes the practical aspects of water pipes and turns them into a friendly and engaging space for socializing and providing service.

Design Concept

The kiosk features a round square form that combines geometric simplicity with a playful reference to its concrete pipe inspiration. This shape ensures good visibility and encourages exploration in busy urban settings. The bottom section of the structure is painted a bright yellow, creating an inviting atmosphere that aligns with the upbeat branding. This color choice is reflected in the packaging and marketing materials, resulting in a consistent visual identity.

Service Modules

The design includes different service modules to meet various customer needs, incorporating elements like a seating cart, bakery cart, hot dog cart, and fast food kitchen cart. This versatility maximizes functionality and promotes social interaction, making the kiosk appealing to individuals and groups. Research highlights the benefits of seating, as it enhances the value of the kiosk’s offerings and improves the overall customer experience.

Sustainable Features

The design embraces sustainability by integrating solar panels — three on the service cart and one on the seating cart. These panels significantly lower energy consumption, allowing the kiosk to meet about one-third of its electricity needs. This approach reflects a growing focus on environmental responsibility in modern design while providing practical support for operations.

Materials and Structure

The kiosk is built using a steel frame, which ensures structural strength. The exterior is made from prefabricated glass fiber reinforced concrete, selected for its durability and lightweight nature. These material choices facilitate easy transport and quick assembly on site. Thoughtful features, such as a ladder for children to see gelato displays, add a level of appeal, showing consideration for diverse visitors.

The design effectively combines playful elements with practical considerations, resulting in a welcoming space that invites people to engage with its offerings.
