咖啡行业的老板们想在一个小空间里给顾客带来严肃的自给咖啡，强调只喝一杯好咖啡。因此，品牌“大小咖啡”-规模小，但意图大。

Owners of the coffee business wanted to bring serious artesian coffee to their customers in a small space, emphasising focus on just a good cup of coffee.  Hence the brand “Big Small Coffee” - being small in size but big on intention.

孙和关-北京工作室办公室的创始人AIO：“我们想象大小咖啡有一个新鲜的，专业的身份，我们想把注意力集中在设计的具体功能和背景。充分利用这两个狭小的空间，将约束转化为设计特性。“

Sun and Kwan - founders of Beijing studio Office AIO :“We imagined Big Small Coffee to have a fresh, and professional identity and we wanted to bring attentiveness to the design specific for its function and context. Making the most out of these two tiny spaces by turning constraints into design features.”

空间函数主要分为两部分。咖啡师和顾客各占酒吧的一边。这种空间上的区别是通过物质性的清晰变化来直观地表达出来的。

The spatial function is primarily split into two. Baristas and customers each occupies a side of the bar. This spatial distinction is expressed visually through a crisp change in materiality.

小型白色肉铺瓷砖缩小了空间，是一个永恒的、通用的、明亮的背景。有有限的宽度可用于咖啡师沿着杆移动，因此设计出与瓷砖尺寸相同的强磁体，以提供容易、灵活的工具、订单和任何杂项物品的访问。

The small white butcher tiles scale the space, and is a timeless, versatile, bright backdrop. With a limited width available for baristas to move along the bar, strong magnets customised to the same size as the tiles are devised to provide easy, flexible access to tools, orders and any miscellaneous items.

另一方面，软木板是温暖和诱人的触摸，它也是一个吸声器，使它成为一个理想的选择，在与相邻的居住空间共用墙的背景下。

The cork panels on the other hand is warm and inviting to the touch, it is also a sound absorber, making it an ideal choice of material in the context of a co-shared wall with the neighbouring living space.

把两边绑在一起就是酒吧。伏尔加蓝花岗岩被选为其闪烁的黑色与壮观的蓝色的口音，秘密庆祝品牌的视觉身份。

Tying the two sides together is the bar. Volga Blue granite is selected for its shimmering black with accents of a spectacular blue colour, secretly celebrates the brand’s visual identity.

花岗岩的石板由镜面覆盖的身体漂浮，穿过透明的玻璃表面。在前露台上提供额外的座位的同时，这个手势也能溶解内部和胡同场景之间的信封。

The slab of granite is afloat by its mirror-clad body, punctures through the transparent glass façade. While providing extra seating on the front patio, the gesture also serves to dissolve the envelop in-between interior and the hutong scenes.

由于空间的限制，产品的展示和存储受到限制。一个定制设计的开放式架子单元悬挂在吧台上方，有效地占据了空间的相对宽敞的高度，而不中断循环。使用丙烯酸板提供的透明度减少了货架单元的视觉重量，使注意力集中在显示的项目上。

Product display and storage is limited due to the spatial constraints. A custom designed open shelf unit is hung from above the bar bench, efficiently occupies the relatively generous height of the space without interrupting circulation. The transparency provided by the use of acrylic sheet diminishes the weight of the shelving unit visually, allowing focus to be on the displayed items.

在商店的南面是另一个分区门槛，标志着一套伪装的高架储物柜。这个门槛会转到洗衣区和厕所的后面。洗衣区是指在下班后才能进入的地方，一个全尺寸的水槽已经就位，但在操作时间内却被隐藏起来，这样的通道就可以保持一个令人愉快的等待区域。

On the southern side of the shop is another zoning threshold, marked by a camouflaged set of overhead storage cupboards. This threshold transits to the back of house washing area and a water closet. The washing area is meant to be accessed after hours, a full sized sink is in place but concealed during operating hours, allowing this right of way to remain a pleasant waiting area.

用四条手工制作的皮带吊死，是一种大胆、奇特的240万定制轻拍。在酒吧上方的空间体积中心漂浮，灯具吸引人的眼睛，增加了空间的重量，同时强调宽度和线性时，遇到前面的酒吧。它还提供了一个更软，更微妙的细节之间的门槛架和台式机顶部。亮度可根据所需的情绪和功能进行调节。

Hung by four hand crafted leather straps is a bold, singular 2.4M customised stroke of light. Floating right in the centre of the spatial volume above the bar, the luminaire catches ones eyes, adds weight to the space, while accentuating width and linearity when encountered front-on facing the bar. It also provides a softer, more delicate details to the threshold between shelf and bench top. Brightness is adjustable for the desired mood and or function.

在倾斜屋顶的南坡上引入了一个大的开口，以引入自然照明，以及允许阴影从上面的树木投射到室内表面一整天。

A large opening on the southern slope of the pitched roof is introduced to bring in natural lighting as well as allowing the shadows from the trees above to cast onto the interior surfaces throughout the day.

在正面朝北的情况下，水晶透明的亚克力天篷为坐在前面露台上的顾客提供防雨保护，同时也让所有可用的自然光和对上面的树叶的景致得以保存。

With a north facing frontage, a crystal clear acrylic canopy provides protection from rain for customers sitting on the front patio while still allowing all available natural light and views to the foliage above to be preserved.

不锈钢折叠板是定制的，为客户提供灵活性和互动，以直观地转变其功能，只需一个简单的翻转行动。在它的休息状态，盘子作为一个小桌子的主顾，谁只是想要一杯咖啡，或站在周围和混合。当折叠起来，板块让位于循环，成为一系列纤细的支撑，以显示相框。

Stainless steel foldaway plates are custom designed to provide flexibility and interaction for the patrons to intuitively transform its function just by a simple flipping action. At its resting state, the plate serves as a small table for patrons who just want a quick coffee or to stand around and mingle. When folded up, the plates give way to circulation and becomes a series of slender support for picture frames to be displayed.

通过大小咖啡厅后面的共用庭院，业主还获得了一间15平方米的房间，原计划用于工作人员的住宿和储存。

“但是为什么不把它变成客房呢？”OfficeAIO建议。

“But why not turn it into a guest room instead?”, Office AIO suggested.

这个房间原来是由房东和她的儿子占用的，直到他去上大学。这间面积8平方米的主房被用作一个生活空间，里面挤着一台电视机/书桌和一张单人床/沙发，而800毫米宽的机翼是儿子的“卧室”。

The room was originally occupied by the landlord and her son until he went off to college. The 8sqm main room was used as a living space cramped with a TV unit / desk and a single bed / sofa, and the overstuffed 800mm wide wing was the son’s ‘bedroom’.

办公室AIO在院子里做了一个小小的延伸，拆除了原来的门面，创建了一个L形的入口，通向客房。这个入口是由一套双铰链门，可以打开，形成一个小的内部庭院。

Office AIO made a small extension into the courtyard and tear down the original façade to create an L-shaped entrance leading into the guest room. This entrance is then filled by a set of double-hinged doors that can be opened up to form a small internal courtyard.

室内墙壁上铺了一层稻草粘土，原有的倾斜天花板上铺着草席，胡桃木地板与现有的木材耙的色调相匹配，以及新的木材细木工，使主要的生活空间焕然一新。结果是一个明亮而温暖的空间，让人联想到传统的胡同民居。

The main living space was refreshed with a layer of straw clay over the internal walls, straw mats lining the original pitched ceiling, walnut timber flooring to match the existing tone of the timber rafters, and new timber joinery. The result is a bright yet warm space with reminiscence of a traditional hutong dwelling interior.

为满足B族的基本需要，内部布置简陋。

The interior is furnished sparsely to fulfil the basic needs of a B&B: a built-in double bed with drawers to store extra beddings and luggage, a cantilevered cork desk for travellers to get some work done during their visits, and a classic Achille Castiglioni pendent as desk and bedside lamp.

长方形浴室覆盖着白色的小型屠宰场瓷砖，顶部是厕所，较长的一端是梳妆台和浴缸，距离窗户更近，以获得自然光和通风。

The linear bathroom were covered in small white butcher tiles, with the water closet on the short end, and vanity and bathtub on the longer end closer to the window for natural light and ventilation.
