“It’s just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building”

In our third movie about this year’s World Architecture Festival and Inside Festival, architect, designer and Inside Festival jury chair Nigel Coates discusses his breakthrough interiors project Caffè Bongo and explains what he will be looking for when judging the awards. 

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"
Middle and Over Wallop restaurant by Nigel Coates at Glyndebourne opera house

“I don’t really see interior design as a discipline,” says Coates. “I see it as a phenomenon. I call it ‘atmos’: when something special happens in an interior which isn’t just functional or stylistic.”

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"
Otaru Marittimo Hotel by Nigel Coates

He goes on to explain that, for him, a good interior “needs to communicate something extra. Not just to a visitor but to the person who lives in it, who’s familiar with it. It needs to create a warmth, cause a kind of alchemy in the way you exist in it.”

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"
Caffè Bongo, Tokyo

Coates says his breakthrough in interiors came in 1986 with Caffè Bongo in Tokyo. Inspired by Italian director Federico Fellini’s 1960s movie La Dolce Vita, the café combined classical statues and architectural elements with parts of an aeroplane that had seemingly crashed into it.

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"

“[It] may seem completely wild,” says Coates. “But I still assert that the crashed aircraft into that building was calm compared with the other nonsense that was going on up and down the street.

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"

“There was an aircraft wing at the top of the window. Charles Jencks described it as a crash. I would see it more as a fusion of the biggest object that symbolises movement and the architectural condition of the window.”

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"
The Waterhouse at South Bund by Neri&Hu, winner of the 2011 Inside Festival awards

When judging the awards for this year’s Inside Festival, which takes place in Singapore in October, Coates will be looking for projects that “create a sort of chemistry”.

"It's just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building"

He says: “What I want to see is the translation of an idea. If it’s just based on style and nice finishes, even clever organisation, that’s not enough. The idea needs to translate into some kind of sensual experience, it needs to capture you.

“Interiors can be dismissed, but if we’re talking about excellence, I think it’s just as hard to do a good interior as it is to do a good building.”
