背景・概念
Background·Concept
项目位于北京旧城区东四一带，一间约60平米、专注于手冲咖啡的咖啡厅。
The project is located in Dong Si, an old city area in Beijing. It is a 60-square-meter coffee shop that specializes in hand-brewed coffee.
周边街道大小店铺林立，既有深受本地居民喜爱的传统店铺，也有反映年轻文化的新颖商店；这一区域既融合了历史的魅力，又充满了现代的活力，街道景观日新月异，给人带来新奇有趣的步行体验。
The surrounding streets are lined up with stores of all sizes and kinds – not only the traditional stores loved by residents, but also the new shops reflecting young culture. This area combines both historical charm and modern vitality. The street landscape changes with every passing day, giving people a novel and interesting walking experience.
设计作为不断地更新地区一部分的同时，期望始终以尊重看不见的历史、传统与场地的特点、性质为基础，考虑与现代生活方式相契合的空间建构作为出发点。
The design, as part of the ever-renewing district, is always expected to be based on the principle of ‘always respecting the invisible history and tradition, always respecting the characteristics and nature of the site’ and to be initiated from the consideration of ‘realising a spatial configuration matching the modern lifestyle’.
随着信息技术的发展，虚拟空间和虚拟体验已成为日常生活的一部分。尽管虚拟空间的便利和潜力值得关注，但我们相信只有在直接而实体的空间和实际的体验中，人们才能获得更加深刻的感动和启发，实地经验是丰富现代人们生活的重要元素。
Virtual space and virtual experience are becoming part of our daily life with the development of technology. Although the convenience and potential of virtual space still needs further discussion, we believe only in direct and physical space and with real experience, people can get more profound touches and inspirations. On-site experience is an important element to enrich people’s lives in modern times.
项目希望通过对五感（视、嗅、味、触、听）的催化来打造一个空间，使人们在此不仅能品味咖啡，还能通过这样独特的实地体验，让人们再次拾回对实体空间体验的收获与悸动，同时也更深入了解咖啡文化。
The project hopes to create a space by catalysing five senses (sight, smell, taste, touch, and hearing) so that people can not only taste coffee here, but also regain the gains and excitement of the physical space experience through such a unique on-site experience, while also gaining a deeper understanding of coffee culture.
空间构成
Spatial Composition
室内空间分为四个区域：手冲咖啡区、咖啡豆展示区、点单咖啡吧台和座位区。
The interior is divided into 4 areas: hand-brew area, coffee bean display area, ordering area and seating area.
点单咖啡吧台保持在最低的面积限度如街头小摊位般伫立于店内的深处。而其他区域则以开放的空间模式；动线和视线设计上自由且流动。
The order counter is kept to the minimum area and stands deep inside the store like a street stall. Other areas are designed in an open space mode; the circulation routes and sight lines are free and flowing.
从室外延伸进室内的屋檐，达到模糊室内外体感的边界性以将人自然引入。走进室内，右侧可以看到手冲咖啡吧台，此处吧台将如同咖啡师的小舞台，顾客可以在这里近距离观看咖啡从豆子到一杯咖啡的制作过程，并在与咖啡师交流的同时，享受咖啡的醇香。
The roof eave extends from the exterior into the interior, blurring the sense of a physical boundary between indoor and outdoor environment in order to bring people in naturally. Walking into the coffee shop, the bar counter could be found on the right-hand side. Here the counter is like a small stage for the baristas where customers can observe the producing process from beans to a cup of coffee up close. While communicating with the barista, customers also can enjoy the coffee and its rich taste.
手冲咖啡吧台的后方设有咖啡豆展示区，可以让顾客直观地比较烘焙过的豆子，也提供品鉴器具让顾客嗅辨不同研磨豆的香气。顾客可以在这里挑选自己喜欢的豆子，品尝现煮的咖啡。
Behind the counter, there is a display area of coffee beans, allowing customers to intuitively compare the roasted beans. Tasting utensils are also provided for customers to smell the aroma of different ground beans. Customers can choose their favourite beans here and taste freshly brewed coffee.
长椅座位区在视线上相对应于点单咖啡吧台和手冲咖啡区布置。通过将座位区设计为类似于街头路肩能随意坐下的线型布局形式，创造了顾客与咖啡师以及顾客们之间自然且不刻意安排的互动距离和模式。
The bench seating area is visually aligned with the counter and the hand-brewed coffee area. By designing the seating area as a linear layout – similar to the street shoulder where people can sit down at will, a natural and unpretentious interaction distance and pattern is created between customers and baristas and among customers.
当踏上通往屋顶露台的旋转楼梯，顾客们将在空间的拘束下暂时抽离于街道的喧嚣，沉浸于一份独有且片刻的宁静。随着步伐的缓慢上升，视线将逐渐望向天空，此刻，洒落的自然光线带来了无比而真实的感受。
When stepping up to the spiral staircase which leads to the roof terrace, customers would temporarily escape from the hustle and bustle on the streets within a constraint space and immerse themselves in a unique and instant tranquillity. As slowly climbing up, the sight would gradually look up to the sky. At this very moment, the falling natural light brings a feeling beyond reality.
上到露台后，1.5米高围墙适当地遮挡了周围的景象，视线被引导向天空。露台中央设计了一张大矮桌，人们围绕着坐下时，视点自然随身体而下降，使顾客在围墙的局限下，能够更加纯粹地感受到天空的广阔。同时，适当的座位距离感，为坐在一起的群体带来轻松惬意的空间体验。
After arriving at the terrace, a fencing wall of 1.5m high appropriately blocks the surrounding scenery and again directs the sight towards sky. A grand and short table is placed at the centre of the terrace. When people sit around it, their viewpoint naturally drops with their bodies, allowing customers to feel the vastness of the sky more purely within the limitations of the wall. Meanwhile, the sense of proper seating distance offers a light and relaxing spatial experience for the group sitting together.
材料与细节
Materials & Details
空间整体以暖色调进行搭配和引导，以便在顾客们进入室内的瞬间，就可以在视觉的催化下迅速地捕捉到咖啡的香气，营造出温暖、舒适的氛围。
The space overall is matched and guided by warm colours, so that the instant customers enter the room, they can quickly capture the aroma of coffee under the catalysis of vision, creating a warm and comfortable atmosphere.
咖啡吧台采用了榉木、樱桃木和胡桃木三种木材，随机组合。通过这样的组合，让人联想到不同焙煎程度的咖啡，也让顾客在挑选咖啡豆的同时能够和不同的木材的质感、纹理产生自然的对照、连结。
The coffee counter is made of three types of wooden materials – beech, cherry and walnut, in random combinations. With the combination like this, it reminds customers of coffee with different roasting degrees and allows customers to have a natural contrast and connection with the texture and grain of different woods when choosing coffee beans.
手冲咖啡吧台以现场浇筑的混凝土制作,凹凸不平的质感与平滑的台面相对比，带来不同而冲突的触感体验。同时也希望借由材料的设计让顾客能意识到从原豆到一杯精心制作的咖啡就如同现场一次性浇筑的混凝土，所展现出的自然且强烈的质感。
The hand-brewing counter is made of on-site casted concrete. Its uneven texture, comparing to a smooth countertop, would bring a rather different and contrasting tactile experience. Through the design of materials, it is also expected that customers can realise the process from raw beans to a cup of carefully crafted coffee is like concrete casted on site at one time, showing a natural and strong texture.
从屋外楼梯到屋顶露台的空间，墙面采用了浅茶色的水洗石材料。材料细腻的凹凸质感和在自然光下形成的阴影变化，跟进一步的触碰了每个人感观上的极限。
The space from outdoor staircase to the roof terrace – the material of light brown washed stone is applied to the walls. Its delicate concave and convex texture of the material and the changes in shadows formed under natural light further touch the limits of everyone’s senses.
此外，客座区的桌椅凳和门把手等地方，不经意间融入了“+”的元素。不仅将品牌理念渗透到空间的各个角落，也为空间增添了视觉上的亮点。
Furthermore, the tables, chairs, stools, door handles and other places of the seating area, inadvertently incorporate the element of “+”, which not only does the brand concept penetrate every corner of the space, but also adds visual highlights to the space.
总结
Conclusion
在快速发展的社会中，我们希望这家咖啡厅成为一个重新认识人与人、人与空间之间联系所带来的温暖与真切的场所，并能够为前来的人们提供丰富的实地体验。同时，我们也希望它能为历史与现代融合的街景增添新的价值，成为这一地区景观的一部分，并长久地为人们所使用和喜爱。
In the society under rapid development, we sincerely wish that this café would become a place to rediscover the warmth and authenticity brought by the connection among people and between human and space, and to provide rich on-site experiences for the ones who come to visit. At the same time, we hope that it can bring new values to the blended streetscape of history and modernity, becoming a part of the local landscape, loved and used by people for a long time to come.
