Kaizen coffee co.被认为是曼谷最好的特色咖啡馆之一，它由年轻的咖啡师Arnun Wattanaporn创立，他对咖啡的热情深受澳洲咖啡文化的影响。在成功赢得广大咖啡爱好者的青睐之后，Kaizen近日在曼谷市中心的黄金地段Ekamai开设了一家新的门店。

Kaizen coffee co. is known as one of the best specialty coffee places in Bangkok, founded by a young barista, Arnun Wattanaporn whose passion is highly influenced by Australia’s vibrant coffee scene. After a widely successful reception from its coffee lovers, Kaizen has recently launched its new home in Ekamai, one of the prime locations in the heart of Bangkok.

门店坐落在曼谷最具活力的城区之一，被众多高层建筑环绕。双层高的体量容纳了100平方米的空间，主立面采用高清玻璃建成，使室内空间在街道层展露无遗，吸引着人们进入。咖啡厅的后墙处设有一块巨大的、刻有字母“K”的圆形橡木板，一方面代表着店铺的名称Kaizen，一方面通过LED灯为空间提供照明。人们可以从街道上清晰地观察到这一元素，为咖啡厅赋予了强烈的身份特征。

Surrounded by multiple high-rise buildings in some of the most vibrant areas in Bangkok, the double space stand-alone establishment of 100 sq.m. was raised among them. Having the front façade decorated with high clear glass, the first architectural challenge was to make the interior design outstanding and attractive when viewed from the main street. An enormous round oak plate engraved with ‘K’ for Kaizen, supplemented with LED light, was then affixed on the back wall accordingly. This element can be easily observed from the main street and thus presents a very firm identity to the café.

与之前的Kaizen门店不同，咖啡厅主人希望改变原先一贯的“现代极简咖啡厅”的氛围，将提高舒适度作为设计的初衷。新的Kaizen门店除了供应各类咖啡和饮料之外，还提供现场烹制的全日制健康餐食。这一改变也对本次室内设计（包括风格和功能）的理念产生了重要的影响。

Unlike the previously owned Kaizen branches, the café owner aims to enhance further essence of coziness rather than a typically modern and minimal café atmosphere. This new Kaizen will not serve only a variety of coffee and beverages, but also a wide range of scrumptious healthy meals freshly prepared and served daily during breakfast till dinner. This intention has changed Kaizen’s interior design concept in both style and functions.

天然橡木和深灰色砖材被用作室内空间的主要材料，带来一种和谐而充满美感的对比。橡木的温馨气息与灰色砖材相得益彰，后者为吧台和一层的墙壁带来独特的肌理，同时也为整个空间赋予了精致的细节及空间特征。

The natural finish oak woods and dark grey bricks weเre opted as the main principle materials. The result is the harmonious combination and beautiful contrast of the structure at once. While the oak woods transmit a sense of coziness, the dark grey bricks bring about the sophistication to the interior space. The distinct brick pattern was installed at the counter bar and the first floor wall, adding the design details as well as the exceptional character to the space.

室内家具被布置在开放式的平面中，一层和二层的陈设有所变化，为的是提供不同种类的就座方式，使顾客可以根据自身的喜好和用餐习惯来选择桌椅。

The furniture layout was designed as an open plan with a functional twist on both first and second floors. This was done to propose a variety of seating groups for the clients to have options of their preferred table depending on their desire whether they will have only coffee or meals.
