架构师提供的文本描述。Espriss咖啡厅占地28.2平方米，位于德黑兰市中心的Nejatollahi街，周围环绕着伊朗手工艺品商店，毗邻伊朗手工艺品组织的建筑。该项目的目的是改造一家礼品店，并将其改造成一家咖啡厅，考虑到项目的规模和地点，这是受城市环境的启发，将传统元素转化为建筑内部空间的主要想法。

Text description provided by the architects. Espriss Cafe with 28sq2 space is located in Nejatollahi street in centre of Tehran surrounded by Iranian handicrafts shops, neighboring the building of Iranian handicrafts Organization. The aim of the project was to renovate a gift shop and change it to a cafe, considering the small size of the project and its location the main idea inspired by the urban context to transform the traditional elements into an architectural interior space.

在空间图的设计中，物质性概念的基础是从外到内的整体几何学。

In designing the spatial diagram, the materiality concept is based on an integrated geometry continues from outside to inside.

邻近的建筑，有砖墙的伊朗手工艺品组织，是为咖啡馆使用同样材料的灵感。关于工程的小尺寸，一块5*10*20维的砖块切割成8块小块5*5*5厘米，其中一面砖块呈青绿色。陶瓷砖也是卫生的，因为它们覆盖了抗菌层。

The neighboring building, Iranian handicrafts Organization with brick facade, was the inspiration to use the same material for the cafe. Concerning the small size of the project, a brick with 5*10*20 dimensions sliced into eight smaller pieces of 5*5*5 centimeters which one side of the bricks glazed in turquoise blue color. The terracotta bricks are also hygienic as they covered with antibacterial layer.

对一层高两米、层高较低的既有建筑进行观察，就成为设计出解决现有结构问题的空间图的起点。

Taking a glance at the existing building with two meters ceiling height on ground floor and lower height on mezzanine floor became the starting point to design the spatial diagram that could work out the issue of the existing structure.

在开始时，阁楼的一半被拆除，改为较小的层，以达到更高的地面天花板，然后厨房的服务区放置在阁楼与另一层通过楼梯和一个小电梯连接。

At the begin half of the mezzanine floor demolished and changed into a smaller level to reach a higher ceiling for ground level, then the kitchen with services area placed in the mezzanine floor connected with the other level by stairs and a small lift.

下一步是在空间图中为厨房提供通风系统。其目的是将通风系统隐藏在其内部，并将其与厨房连接起来，从而使三维图形从外部延伸到体积的内部，并在厨房、内部空间和外部几何之间建立联系。

Next step was providing a ventilation system for the kitchen in the spatial diagram. The purpose was to hide the ventilation system inside the form and link it to the kitchen, so the 3D diagram stretched from outside to inside of the volume and create a connection among the kitchen, internal space and the outer geometry.

三维图为解决现有结构问题所需的所有特征创建了一个完整的结构，它还引入了砖块的形态，因为所有的砖都是在三维图的基础上定位的。

The 3D diagram created an integrated structure for all the features required to work out the issues of the existing structure which also introduce morphology of brick an light as all the bricks are positioned based on the 3D diagram.

设计的主要问题之一是在狭小的空间中创造一种视觉形式的变化。在这一概念中，游客与项目有关的情况是重要的，因为他们可以根据自己的位置不同地理解砖上颜色的构成。砖的绿松石蓝色琉璃面朝南，采用整体砌砖的几何形状，三维图形从行人的人行道开始，一直延伸到咖啡厅内。

One of the main issues of design was creating a visual variation of the form in a small space. In this concept, the situation of visitors in relation to the project is significant in order to understand the form as they can differently perceive the composition of colors on the bricks regarding to their position. The turquoise blue glazed side of the bricks are facing south shaped with the monolithic geometry of brick laying that was modeled by the 3D diagram started from the pavement of the pedestrian and continues inside of the cafe.

该项目的照明是由在伊朗传统建筑的启发下，在砖头之间的缝隙中提供的灯形成的，这些灯被翻译成现代的设计语言。

The lightening of the project is formed by the lamps provided in the gaps in between the joints of the bricks inspired by Iranian traditional architecture which translated into a modern language of design.

室内空间使用的其他材料是暗木，包括地板、家具和与厨房相连的后侧壁。

The other material used for the interior space is dark wood includes the floor, furniture, and back side wall linked with kitchen.

总之，关于重要性和功能的空间图分为以下两个部分：

In conclusion the spatial diagram regarding the materiality and function are divided into two divisions as follows:

1.厨房内部的空间与底层相连，后面的侧壁，最后展示入口门，因为这部分看不见门上方的排气装置。

1. Inside kitchen space linked to the ground floor with the back side wall and finally demonstrate the entrance door as this part invisible the venting installations above the doorway.

2.该图的另一部分展示了所有砖块表面，包括立面、厨房、通风系统、内墙和天花板，从咖啡厅前面的人行横道开始，一直延伸到正面，一直延伸到里面。此外，所有未来的要求，如点挂图片是与砖块成型，以避免使用其他元素。

2. The other outer part of the diagram demonstrate all the brick surfaces including the facade, kitchen, ventilation system, interior walls and ceilings which starts from the pedestrian pavement in front of the cafe and stretched up to the facade and continues inside. Also all future requirements such as spots for hanging pictures are shaped with the bricklaying to avoid using other elements.

最后，我们的目标是开发一种简单的技术，使每个建筑工人都能完成施工。

At last the goal was to develop a simple technique so every builder would be able to complete the construction.

为了实现这一目标，每块砖块轮廓以一比一的比例以大格式印刷。将金属框架放置在印刷海报上，并沿着曲线弯曲，每块砖都使用附在框架上的小圆柱体定位，并通过砖块背面的孔安装，这样做是为了绘制三维空间图。

To achieve this goal each section of brick contours printed in large format in one to one scale. the metal frames placed on the printed posters and bent following the curve lines, each brick positioned using the small cylinders attached to the frames and installed  via the holes on the back side of the bricks which done in order to the 3D spatial diagram.

结合SMD灯具与有机玻璃材料的选择为本项目，因此，修理和改变他们将在未来手工完成。

Combination of SMD lamps with Plexiglas material selected for this project so fixing and changing them would be manually done in the future.
