# Lakeview-Looking Cafes Steinbacher Thierrichter Adds Modern Chic to an Historical Town Hall By Leslie Chen | Published 2011-08-25 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/steinbacher-thierrichter References: [notcot.org](http://www.notcot.org/post/42580/) & [architizer](http://www.architizer.com/en_us/projects/view/open-space-cafe-bar/28446/) Steinbacher Thierrichter is the designer behind this ultra modern design. You would never guess that it stands among a town hall that was built in the 13th century. Although this new addition to the town hall features a sleek style that is undoubtedly contemporary, Steinbacher Thierrichter has made it fit in well with its surroundings. The building is an [open bar cafe](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/vinklu) that contains an airy space that invites patrons to enjoy their drinks with ease. Steinbacher Thierrichter has definitely found a way to [mix the old with the new](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cloisters-interiors). **Implications** - The number of modern designs is increasing every day. Consumers in this age are looking for styles that feature a contemporary aesthetic. Focusing on creating clean-cut items could help a company increase its relevancy on the market. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.8/10 - Popularity: 60% | Activity: 46% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/architecture) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Modern Designs:** Creating clean-cut items could help a company increase its relevancy on the market. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Hospitality:** Hotels and restaurants can incorporate modern design elements to appeal to contemporary consumers. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Modernist Art-Deco Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/watchhouse-caf.md) - [Building-Nestled Compact Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chapel-cafe.md) - [Art Deco Café Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atypique-1.md) - [Colorfully Interior Designed Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lackawanna-caf.md) - [Compact Urban Cafes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-chapel.md) - [Redeveloped Industrial Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ironworks-caf.md) - [Dynamic Layered Interior Cafés](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/caf-tondo.md) - [Classic Parisian Bistro Designs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/le-cornichon.md) - [Artificial Textural Cafe Interiors](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hahouse-cafe.md)
