Located in Morioka, a city in the Tohoku region of Japan, is the brand new Nagasawa Coffee, a shop that was designed by ARII IRIE Architects to incorporate the process of making its product into an actual part of the whole purchasing experience.

位于日本东北地区的一座城市茂冈，是一家全新的长泽咖啡店，由Arii Irie建筑公司设计，旨在将其产品融入整个采购体验的实际部分。

When the owners of the original shop came up with the idea of moving it into a bigger space so they could include a recently purchased 1960s vintage roaster in the decor scheme, a much bigger plan started to form. They ended up developing the vision of a whole new shop where guests become privy to the actual process of roasting and making their coffee from scratch, more like an open workshop space than just your average coffee shop.

当原来商店的老板想出把它搬到更大的空间，以便他们可以在装饰方案中包括一个最近购买的1960年代的古董烘焙机时，一个更大的计划开始形成。最后，他们开发了一个全新的咖啡店的愿景，在那里，客人们开始了解从零开始烘焙和煮咖啡的实际过程，更像是一个开放式的车间空间，而不仅仅是普通的咖啡店。

When the designers came onto the project, they sought a way to enable the clients’ vision in the simplest, most space efficient way possible. A primary element of this minimalist but pleasing spatial concept is the big terrazzo table where most of the customer service is completed. This table is 6 metres long and 1.5 metres wide, making it quite sizeable indeed.

当设计人员进入这个项目时，他们寻找一种方法，以最简单、最节省空间的方式实现客户的愿景。这个极简但令人愉悦的空间概念的一个主要元素是大型水磨石表，其中大多数客户服务都已完成。这张桌子长6米，宽1.5米，相当大。

Despite being large, this service table is, in fact, space efficient because it is so multipurpose and so much can centre around it. besides being a service counter and a table to sit at, the desk is also an active tabletop where live roasting takes place, with packaged, unroasted, and roasted beans are all stored, displayed, and prepared within full view of the customers’ curious eyes.

尽管规模很大，但实际上这个服务桌的空间效率很高，因为它具有如此多的用途，而且如此多的服务可以围绕着它。除了是一个服务柜台和一张桌子，这张桌子也是一个活跃的桌面，在那里进行现场烘烤，包装的、未烤的和烤过的豆子都在顾客好奇的眼睛里储存、展示和准备。

The new shop, despite having a bigger square footage, is still decently small; in fact, it has a lower ceiling than the previous space. This doesn’t interfere with customers’ ability to enjoy the space at all, but designers still wanted to counteract that visually in order to keep the space feeling balanced rather than short. This is why they’ve kept them primary counter quite low.

新店虽然面积更大，但规模仍然很小；事实上，它的天花板比以前的要低。这并不影响顾客享受空间的能力，但设计师们仍然希望在视觉上与之抗衡，以保持空间的平衡感而不是短暂感。这就是为什么他们一直保持他们的主要计数器相当低。

The counter isn’t quite low enough to grab anyone’s attention for its lacking height, but it does create a sensical space between its tabletop and the ceiling, which is only 2.8 metres high. Situating the tabletop where most customers’ attention will be fixed lower draws their eye line downward and away from the ceiling. Additionally, the lower height makes the primary counter feel like a bit more of a stage on which a dance of some kind is taking place.

柜台不够低，不足以吸引任何人的注意力，因为它的高度不足，但它确实创造了一个耸人听闻的空间之间的桌面和天花板，只有2.8米高。在台面上，大多数顾客的注意力都会被固定在较低的位置，将视线向下拉向天花板，远离天花板。此外，较低的高度使初级计数器感觉更像是一个舞台，在这个舞台上正在进行某种舞蹈。

Across from the ever-important counter is where the vintage roaster we mentioned previously lives. It is on full display and curious customers are encouraged to look at it up close and take in all its mechanics and details. Between the counter and the roast sits a long, lovely smoothed granite table that guests might use as social and communal space. Slightly more individualized seating can be found at the front of the store, near the edge of the counter.

在这个永远重要的柜台对面是我们之前提到过的复古烤炉的所在地。它是在充分展示和好奇的客户鼓励查看近距离，并了解其所有的机械和细节。在柜台和烤炉之间，坐着一张长而漂亮的光滑花岗岩桌，客人们可以把它作为社交和公共空间。更个性化的座位可以在商店的前面，靠近柜台的边缘找到。

Thanks to the difference in look and aesthetic between the vintage roaster and the clean-edged, modern looking furniture, like the table and its accompanying minimalist stools, the whole shop is bathed in a stunning contrast between vintage and contemporary. The effect is nothing short of stunning and that, combined with the experience of witnessing the entire coffee bean process, really makes Nagasawa coffee stand out.

由于复古烘焙机和干净边缘的现代家具的外观和美学上的差异，比如桌子和它附带的极简式凳子，整个商店都沐浴在一个令人震惊的复古与现代的对比中。它的效果简直令人惊叹，再加上见证整个咖啡豆加工过程的经历，长泽咖啡确实脱颖而出。
