STUDIO 4/301｜PAGE 社区咖啡

项目地位于上海历史悠久的陝西北路，位于大同巷安静的角落。这里是中国当代许多重要人物曾经的家，如容宗敬、何东博士和宋氏姐妹。这些历史意义使安静的居住区成为一个受人尊敬的地方。作为该区的住户，咖啡师受到启发，希望通过咖啡为当地社区建立一个社交和聚会的中心。

Located on the historical North Shanxi Road in Shanghai, the building is in the quiet corner of Datong Lane. The area was home to many important figures in contemporary China, such as Rong Zongjing, Robert HoTung Bosman, and Soong Sisters. These historical significances brought the quiet residential area into a respected place. As a resident of the area, the barista was inspired to develop a social and gathering hub through coffee for the local community.

与咖啡师一起，STUDIO 4/301提出了 “社区咖啡店” 的概念。与 “网红店” 相反，他们更希望打造出一个日常的、接地气的、但经过精心设计的咖啡空间。尽管场地面积有限，但设计团队依然决定将店铺边界内退于街道，这种策略是咖啡店在住宅区中最温和的干预，并能更好地将建筑嵌入街区景观之中。

Along with the barista, STUDIO 4/301 developed the concept of a ‘community coffee shop.’ Opposite being an online celebrity shop, a daily, down-to-earth, and yet elaborate coffee space is anticipated. The design team decided to move the shop boundary back from the street despite the limited site area. This strategy is the softest intervention of the coffee shop in the residential area and better embeds the building into the streetscape.

店铺的总面积不超过20平方米，在与咖啡师进讨论后，STUDIO 4/301认同咖啡师的理念 – 手冲咖啡的制作更像是一种表演，是一场神圣的、引人注目的和治愈的旅程。在这个狭小的空间里，4/301相信植入一个巨大的吧台，可以成为咖啡师最理想一个舞台, 在这舞台上, 咖啡师可以尽情地表演他的咖啡创作。

The Coffee shop has a limited area of less than 20 sqm in GFA. After discussions with the barista, STUDIO 4/301 was convinced by the idea that making coffee is a sort of performance. It is an enticing and healing journey. Within this tiny space, 4/301 believes the insertion of a massive bar table can become the most satisfactory ‘stage’ for the barista to perform his coffee-making creation and share the journey with his customers.

立面上有六扇通高的玻璃移门，随着门的打开，咖啡空间自然地融入了街道景观。此外，设计团队采用了与室外路面相同的地砖，对于室内地面的处理，他们选择了手工柴烧的天然棕红色瓷砖，这种颜色组成和柴烧的过程让人想起咖啡豆烘焙的色调，柴烧地砖的宽度与室外地砖对齐，这样不仅加强了商店和街道之间的紧密联系，而且为室内和室外之间形成了微妙而优雅的过渡。

The facade has six full-height glazing-glass sliding doors. With the doors opened, the coffee space is naturally integrated into the street landscape. Moreover, the small outdoor area in the coffee shop is paved with the same outdoor pavement bricks. For the interior flooring, the design team chose handmade firewood ceramic tiles of a natural brown-red colour. This colour composition and the firewood-burned process recall the hue of roasted coffee beans. The width of the firewood-burnt tiles aligns with the outdoor tiles. Not only does it reinforce the cohesive relationship between the shop and the street, but it also develops a subtle and elegant transition between the indoors and outdoors.

作为空间的主要体量，吧台由椴木多层板和不锈钢板制成。轻薄的不锈钢板被焊接成一个坚固的金框架，界定了座位区域并容纳咖啡设备。桌面选用了6毫米深灰色不锈钢板，其较暗的色调和反射强化了 “给咖啡师一个舞台”的想法。

As the major volume in the space, the bar table is made of basswood plywood and stainless steel plates. The thin metal plates are welded as a strong frame, which defines the seating area and holds equipment. A 6mm dark grey metal plate is placed for the tabletop, whose darker tone and reflection strengthen the idea of a stage for the barista.

为了呼应咖啡店品牌的名字——Pages，多层板的侧面没有经过处理。因此，多层板和金属板就像书本的书页一样，层层叠叠地堆叠而成。其他固定装置也遵循这种设计语言，暴露了多层板未处理的侧面。这些优雅的细节巧妙地体现了品牌的调性，并有效地营造出友好的 “社区咖啡店” 形象。

Echoing the coffee brand’s name – Pages, the side of the plywood is kept untreated. Therefore, the multi-layers of wood sheets and metal plates are composed as if they were pages of a book. The other fixtures also follow this design language and expose the untreated side of the plywood. These elegant details subtly reflect the brand’s identity and contribute to the friendly community coffee environment.
