架构师提供的文本描述。位于旧金山市中心的这家小咖啡馆的主要目标是，以速度和速度把咖啡调高，以满足金融区的需求，同时重振一段已经休憩了20多年的人行道。咖啡吧是一个探索、实验和拥抱咖啡产业发展趋势的工作坊。

Text description provided by the architects. The primary objective for this tiny cafe in the heart of downtown San Francisco was to bring epicurean level coffee at a rate and speed to meet the Financial District’s demands while simultaneously revitalizing a stretch of sidewalk that has been fallow for over twenty years. Coffee Bar serves as a workshop to explore, experiment, and embrace the trends of the coffee industry.

这家咖啡馆坐落在圣玛丽车库的入口处，位于美国银行广场对面的Kearny街区中央。这一段人行道一直被空置所困扰：毗邻的地方是一片被忽视的土地，而且这片空间至少有20年是空的。在洛马·普里塔地震后，车库进行了地震升级。这在空间和人行道之间放置了一个大的混凝土剪力墙，这实际上使它不适合零售。为了给这个至关重要的步行区带来生机，打开了混凝土剪力墙，将空间与人行道连接起来。为了减少浪费，节约使用了材料。现有的混凝土和管道不但没有盖上粗糙的外壳，反而被更新并暴露在外面，以庆祝它们的工业特性。

The cafe sits at the entrance to Saint Mary’s Garage, located centrally on the block of Kearny Street directly across from the Bank of America plaza. This stretch of sidewalk has been plagued by vacancy: adjacent lies a neglected lot, and the space itself has been empty for at least twenty years. After the Loma Prieta earthquake, the garage underwent seismic upgrades. This placed a large concrete shear wall between the space and the sidewalk, effectively making it undesirable for retail. In an effort to bring life back to this crucial pedestrian zone, the concrete shear wall was opened, connecting the space to the sidewalk. In order to reduce waste, materials were used sparingly. Instead of covering up an othewise rough shell, existing concrete and piping were refreshed and left exposed, celebrating their industrial character.

利用日本寿司板技术，将外墙板烧焦，这一过程内在地延长了木材的使用寿命。在洞口上方，灼热的颜色逐渐褪去，变成了木材的天然颜色。在左边，在行人的水平，烧焦的木材包裹到内部，成为主要的干预：一个黑色的框架周围的咖啡师。这个黑色的框架成为一个房间内的一个房间，强调艺术的咖啡师通过尽量使用材料和高效率的照明。变黑的钢铁柜台为成品提供了一个严酷的背景，并将随着时间的推移而变薄。

Utilizing the Japanese Shou Sugi Ban technique, the exterior wood siding is scorched, a process which inherently prolongs the life of the wood. Above the opening, the scorching fades into the wood’s natural color. On the left, at pedestrian level, the scorched wood wraps to the interior, becoming the main intervention: a black frame surrounding the baristas. This black frame becomes a room within a room, emphasizing the artistry of the barista through a minimal use of materials and high efficiency lighting. The blackened steel counter provides a stark backdrop for the finished product, and will patina over time.
