A well-executed contemporary cafe design can go a long way in bringing clientele to a business. Whether one is grabbing coffee on-the-go, catching up with a friend or doing some work, the atmosphere can be a major component of selection. Brooklyn/Bogota-based [Studio Cadena](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/elegant-restaurant-interior1) realizes that and it is quite evident from the creative practice's design for Masa — a "7,500 sq. ft. multi-purpose space located in the Bogota neighborhood of Usaquén."

The establishment includes a cafe, a restaurant, and a retail space — a great example of [converging services](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/design-next-agency1) to attract more consumers while focusing on convenience and efficiency. The contemporary cafe design boasts a strikingly elegant aesthetic which is dependent on "architectural fragmentation," "volumetric connections," and the interesting presence of a trio of triangular windows.
