The Dondurma Dükkanı ice cream shop revitalizes the nostalgic ritual of visiting a diner for a milkshake with a feminine approach to the decor that takes inspiration from such retro establishments. The parlour is filled with pink, blue and yellow pastel hues as well as whimsical large-scale designs of items and foods specific to eating ice cream.
The decor was put together by Kst Architecture and it heavily draws upon creating a whimsical atmosphere that is playful and inviting for consumers of all ages. The design is open concept with a large counter space that houses the ice creams and drinks. The floors and walls are tiled while tall pillars decorated as spiralled milkshake straws adorn the space.
