在自己设计的建筑里开一间咖啡馆，可能是很多建筑师心中都曾有过的小小梦想。

Perhaps many architects have had a small dream in their mind of opening a cafe in a building they designed.

“真希望能有个咖啡馆，一看就是建筑师的。不仅对城市有所回应，兼具展览、工作坊，甚至是办公的功能，更能让大家以咖啡为媒介，更放松的走进和了解建筑师的工作和生活。”

I hope that there will be a cafe that looks like it is run by an architect. Not only does it respond to the city, but it can also function as an exhibition, workshop, or even an office. Moreover, it allows people to use coffee as a medium to enter and understand the work and life of architects in a more relaxed way.

Three years ago, we installed a mini coffee bar in the owners office, and the flowing mirrored stainless steel activates the core area. The professional barista not only makes coffee for colleagues but also receives orders from other companies in the same office park. Neighbors come to visit the Office Coffee in groups and are curious to see the daily life of the design company.

“办公室咖啡”因此从“福利”变成了“副业”，

也让业主看到了建筑对话大众的另一种可能。因此，从办公室到城市的这一步，就这样在建筑圈与咖啡圈双卷的氛围下逆流而上。

The office coffee has thus changed from a welfare to a side business, and has allowed the owner to see another possibility for architecture to talk to the public. Therefore, in the atmosphere of the double-rat race of the architectural and coffee circles, the architects café still swims against the current and extends from the office to the city.

留住初夏的风

Keeping the early summer breeze

The café is located in Hangzhous Liangzhu Birland, facing the plaza and the dry spray, a well-deserved center position. The project was designed at the beginning of spring and summer, and the outdoor breeze is a cozy experience unmatched by any man-made design, reminiscent of a cool bowl of tea in the shade of a tree in ones childhood, refreshing and clean.

Therefore, the design retains the 270° open interface towards the city square, where the glass is used to protect against the summer sun and the winter cold, while the folding glass sliding door can be fully opened on nice days to keep the early summer breeze.

退让的 1/4

The ¼ Setbac

Publicity is a constant sentiment of the architect. Even in the expensive plaza street, the design sets back the coffee operation and sales area by ¼ of its depth to the inside, opening up the full 7-meter-long, 3-meter-wide entrance area to the neighborhood. The setback compresses the interior space of the café, but extends the outdoor plaza into the building, making the café part of the plaza.

下沉空间的安全感

Sunken Entrance

The internal and external interfaces utilize the original conditions of the structures 0.5-meter drop slab. People sit back to back, creating a natural separation between the horizontal continuity and the vertical drop, avoiding the feeling of compression caused by the crush of individual dimensions. The sunken seating allows everyone to enjoy the atmosphere of the plaza while feeling safe and secure.

In terms of technical conditions, the original structural drop slabs were reserved for equipment piping, and most other stores chose to backfill directly to level with the outdoors. Convincing the property owner to retain the slabs became a major challenge. We worked together with the owner to optimize the piping connections and drainage design and reserved lifting pumps and pumping machines to cope with the once-in-a-century heavy rainfall. In the end, the direction of retaining the structural slab was supported by all parties and realized.

坦诚的咖啡

The Honest Coffee

Conventional coffee shop operation areas are generally one-line or L-shape, which is convenient for hiding equipment and suitable for large-volume coffee making. The store mainly focuses on hand-brewed coffee, so it chose a layout similar to a public stage, inserting the square coffee operation area into the customer area in the form of a 360° full open, with customers sitting around the barista and enjoying the whole process of handbrewed coffee and tea.

变化的可能

Possibilities for change

The architects coffee shops often take on other possibilities besides business, such as conversations, discussions, and exhibitions. Therefore, the tables, chairs, stools, and steps in the store are all made of uniform materials and uniform modules, which are not only plain and simple but also can be used as basic unit modules to realize flexible switching in different usage scenarios.
