空间边界的消融——九然JOYROAST

01 设计缘起
01 Design Origin
/

初识九然，是在2020年的夏初。香浓的咖啡和精致的甜点，纯粹且美味。几年来，只要回到北海，就想去九然坐一坐。今年夏初，受主理人的邀请，为店铺的全面升级做空间设计。
My first encounter with JOYROAST was in the early summer of 2020. The rich coffee and exquisite desserts were pure and delicious. Whenever I return to Beihai, I always make a point to visit JOYROAST. This early summer, invited by the owner, I was tasked with designing the comprehensive upgrade for the space.

九然咖啡位于广西北海市海城区四川路105鸿苑别墅，临近商业综合体和安·宁春城，距离火车站约1.2公里。考虑到店铺是自建房的一层，且位于繁华的商业街和居民区相交的地带。设计倾向于使用一些自然的材质，比如，具有木质感的海洋板、通透感的玻璃、真实感的混凝土等等。由此打造一个自然而然的舒适空间。
JOYROAST Coffee is located at 105 Hongyuan Villa, Sichuan Road, Haicheng District, Beihai City, Guangxi, adjacent to the commercial complex NingChunCheng and approximately 1.2 kilometers from the railway station. Considering that the shop occupies the ground floor of a self-built house and is situated in the intersection of a bustling commercial street and a residential area, the option tend to using natural materials such as wooden oceanic panels, transparent glass, authentic concrete, and so on, to create a natural and comfortable space.

门头呈现：消隐与延伸
Facade Presentation: Dissolution and Extension

基于九然所处的居民区区位的特殊性，以及主理人追求的自然而然的品牌概念，空间升级的重点聚焦于顾客的空间体验之上，力图打造一个集“安静、通透、舒适”为一体的咖啡店。因此，在门头的设计时使用消隐的手法，在视觉上呈现出纵向的自然滑落感和横向的自由延伸感。
Based on the uniqueness of JOYROAST’s location in a residential area and the owner’s pursuit of a natural brand concept, the focus of the spatial upgrade centered on the customer’s spatial experience, aiming to create a coffee shop that integrates “quietness, transparency, and comfort.” Therefore, the facade design employed a dissolution technique, striving to visually present a vertical natural cascading sense and a horizontal free extension.

动线优化：分流与整合
Route Optimization: Diversification and Integration

在升级改造中，加强店铺后厨与柜台两个空间的联系。“T”形动线取代原来的“I”形动线，店员从后厨制作甜点到店面服务客人的过程中，减少了碰撞和拥挤的现象。点单结账、咖啡制作、甜点售卖三个部分的功能独立，不仅能够给店员提供更多的操作空间，还能够让顾客在进店时有一个舒适的体验。
During the upgrade and renovation, the connection between the kitchen and counter spaces was enhanced. The “T”-shaped route replaced the original “I”-shaped route, reducing collisions and congestion during the process of staff preparing desserts in the kitchen and serving customers in the store. The functions of order placement and payment, coffee preparation, and dessert sales are independent, not only providing more operating space for staff but also ensuring a comfortable experience for customers when they enter the store.

形象展示：通透与自由
Image Display: Transparency and Freedom

主理人希望客人在进店时，能够直接看到美味的甜点。因此，在设计中考虑到增强这一区域的视觉感，让产品成为这一空间的主角，店铺的主入口使用整片无框地玻璃窗和电动玻璃门，以此达到开敞且明亮的效果。
The owner hopes that customers can see the delicious desserts as soon as they enter the store. Therefore, the option took into account enhancing the visual impact of this area, making the products the protagonists of the space. The main entrance of the store uses an entire frameless glass window and an electric glass door to achieve an open and bright effect.

客座体验：风景与裂缝
Seating Experience: Scenery and Cracks

构建一个有序的空间的前提，应该是整合空间。横向推拉的折叠窗，将室内与室外的不可跨越的界限取消了。
The premise of constructing an orderly space should be integrating spaces. Horizontally sliding folding windows eliminate the insurmountable boundary between indoors and outdoors.

卫生间和洗手池，隐藏在这栋居民楼的楼梯间下方，设计中狭窄的通道通过两种材质的碰撞，突出墙面的进退感，让私密的空间无声地融入了公共的视野中。
The restroom and sink are hidden below the staircase of this residential building. The narrow passageway in the design, through the collision of two materials, highlights the recession of the wall surface, allowing the private space to silently integrate into the public view.

庭院空间：独立与共存
Courtyard Space: Independence and Coexistence

庭院通过构建花池的方式，弱化空间的界限，将城市空间与商业空间融合在一起。前院方正开阔，侧院狭长私密，满足不同人群的需求。
The courtyard integrates the urban space with the commercial space by constructing flower beds, weakening spatial boundaries. The front courtyard is square and spacious, while the side courtyard is narrow and private, catering to the needs of different groups.
