BURGER LOUNGE 

Year: 2015

Location: San Francisco, CA 

Team: Guvenc Ozel

Burger lounge is an interior study for a technology start-up in San Francisco, currently developing a robot that automates the process of producing customized gourmet burgers. Burger as a fast food staple has had cultural resonance in the architecture of culinary environments. Ozel Office analyzed spatial themes from American diners such as booths, counters, bars and other traditional furniture elements and re-designed them with a contemporary approach. These elements would be manufactured through inventive use of current digital fabrication techniques and combine natural materials with synthetic ones as well as integrating interactive and reactive technology that would fully automate the ordering and customization of food.
