由Mallol设计的Krume Bäcker是一家位于巴拿马Costa del Este的全新面包店，室内面积为193平方米。该项目在建筑清晰度和可持续性承诺之间找到了完美平衡。设计灵感来源于面包店的奥地利根基，传递了简约、质量和传统等价值观，同时也与现代期待和巴拿马本地环境的现实相契合。

Designed by Mallol, Krume Bäcker is a recently completed bakery in Costa del Este, Panama. With an interior area of 193 square meters, the project merges architectural clarity with a commitment to sustainability. Drawing on the bakery’s Austrian roots, the design interprets values such as simplicity, quality, and tradition, while responding to contemporary expectations and the realities of its Panamanian setting.

一个显著的设计特点是酒吧和内墙使用了压实土壤建造。该技术由Aparato开发，采用了当地采集的未经加工的土壤。这种传统建筑方式无需高能制造，显著减少了环境影响。同时，土壤材料提供了优异的热稳定性、声学隔音效果，并且其质感饰面强化了空间的独特性。所有的施工工作都与当地工匠紧密合作，促进了社区的参与，并传承了技术知识。

A defining feature of the space is the use of compacted earth in the construction of the bar and interior walls. The technique was developed and applied by Aparato using locally sourced, unprocessed earth. This traditional construction method requires no high-energy manufacturing, significantly reducing environmental impact. It also provides thermal stability, acoustic insulation, and a textured material finish that supports the identity of the space. All work was carried out in collaboration with local artisans, contributing to community involvement and the transmission of technical knowledge.

家具由Mallol Lifestyle Studio量身设计，并由The Alma Studio使用从Bayano水库回收的本地硬木精心制作。这些木材自数十年前该地区被淹没以来便一直浸泡在水中，提供了可持续的替代方案，避免了传统的木材采伐方式。木材的提取与Guna Madugandí社区合作，通过受控技术进行管理，确保不破坏当地生态系统。取出后的木材经过数月的窑干处理，以确保其耐用性和性能。最终，制作出的桌子、椅子和服务用具为空间增添了温暖和质感，同时保持了最小的环境足迹。

The furniture was custom-designed by Mallol Lifestyle Studio and elaborated by The Alma Studio using native hardwoods recovered from the Bayano Reservoir. These woods have remained submerged since the flooding of the region decades ago, and offer a sustainable alternative to conventional timber harvesting. The extraction is managed in partnership with the Guna Madugandí community using controlled techniques that avoid disrupting the local ecosystem. Once retrieved, the wood is kiln-dried over several months to ensure its durability and performance. The resulting tables, chairs, and service pieces contribute warmth and texture to the space, while maintaining a minimal environmental footprint.

室内布局支持多种用途，从短时停留到长期逗留都能适应。流线设计既开放又直观，座位配置能够同时容纳个人和团体。设计强调简洁的线条、中性色调以及自然材料，创造出一种宁静且宜人的氛围。照明重点突出了面包这一面包店的核心产品，同时为整体氛围增添了层次感，而不抢占过多的注意力。

The interior layout supports a variety of uses ranging from short visits to extended stays. Circulation is open and intuitive, with seating configurations that accommodate individuals and groups. The design emphasizes clean lines, neutral tones, and natural materials to create a calm and inviting atmosphere. Lighting is focused on the bakery’s central product, the bread, while contributing to the overall ambiance without drawing excessive attention to itself.

从材料选择到空间策略，Krume Bäcker的设计理念是将环境责任感与社会参与融合在一起。项目采用了当地资源、低影响的建筑技术和手工制作的饰面，体现了一种优先考虑长期性能和巴拿马城市背景相契合的设计方法。这个项目展示了如何在不妥协设计质量和运营功能的前提下，在商业空间中融入可持续实践。

From its material choices to its spatial strategies, Krume Bäcker was designed as a platform for both environmental responsibility and social engagement. The use of local resources, low-impact construction techniques, and handcrafted finishes reflects an approach that prioritizes long-term performance and relevance within Panama’s urban context. The project serves as a model for how commercial interiors can incorporate sustainable practices without compromising design quality or operational functionality.
