Pushing open the glass doors of Madcoffee, the first thing that hits you is the roasted aroma of Guatemalan coffee beans. Then, your gaze is captured by the cascading white concrete wall behind the bar—its texture, like milk foam gently stirred by a coffee spoon, delicate yet possessing a flowing rhythm. This 150-square-meter space is madarq studios own unique answer: what kind of warmth and inspiration will emerge when a design studio, no longer cloistered in an office cubicle, merges with a café?

推开 Madcoffee 的玻璃门，最先扑来的是危地马拉咖啡豆的焦香，紧接着，视线会被吧台后那面倾泻而下的白色混凝土墙攫住 —— 它的肌理像被咖啡勺轻轻搅动过的奶泡，细腻中藏着流动的韵律。这座 150 平方米的空间，是 madarq studio 给自己的一份特别答卷：当设计工作室不再躲藏在写字楼的格子间，而是与咖啡馆相融，会生长出怎样的温暖与灵感？

The bar counter is a solid block of Tenerife marble, its off-white base punctuated by light gray veins, reminiscent of the subtle latte art on a cappuccino. The designer intentionally preserved the natural rough edges of the stone, allowing fingertips to feel the subtle undulations, as if touching not cold stone but the husks of freshly roasted coffee beans. The adjacent table is made of local gray stone, polished to a jade-like smoothness. When a coffee cup is placed on it, it makes a soft, tinkling sound, like raindrops falling on a café window.

吧台的台面是块完整的 Tenerife 大理石，米白底色里游弋着浅灰纹路，像极了卡布奇诺表面那圈若有若无的拉花。设计师特意保留了石材边缘的自然毛边，指尖抚过能感受到细微的凹凸，仿佛触摸的不是冰冷的石头，而是刚烘焙好的咖啡豆外壳。旁边的取餐台用了本地灰石，被打磨得温润如玉，咖啡杯放在上面时，会发出 “叮” 的轻响，像雨滴落在咖啡馆的窗沿。

The most captivating aspect is the three concrete trees. Three concrete columns from the original building have been preserved, painted matte white, and wrapped with thin wooden strips. The yellow wood grain collides with the white columns, evoking the moment when espresso is poured with milk. The space between the columns is cleverly utilized, with a long table winding along the columns. The warm yellow of the wood diffuses, neutralizing the cold concrete. One guest commented that sipping coffee here feels like falling into a cup of espresso with milk, gently enveloping them.

最动人的是那三棵 “混凝土树”。原有建筑的三根混凝土柱被保留下来，表面刷上哑光白漆，柱身缠绕着细木条 —— 黄色的木纹与白色的柱体碰撞，恰似浓缩咖啡注入牛奶的瞬间。柱子之间的空间被巧妙利用，一张长桌沿着柱身蜿蜒展开，木材的暖黄漫过来，中和了混凝土的冷冽。有客人说，坐在这儿喝咖啡，总觉得自己像掉进了一杯加了奶的 espresso，被温柔地包裹着。

From the street-facing facade, only a corner of the coffee bar is visible. This half-hidden, almost lingering design creates a deliberate sense of suspense. Once you push the door open, the gray tiles guide your steps forward, and the light shifts accordingly: the glass wall at the entrance lets in unbridled sunlight, but in the studio area, the light suddenly softens. The reticulated ceiling panels act like a fine mesh, filtering the intense light into dappled specks that fall on the designers drawing board, creating a poetic effect reminiscent of a coffee stain.

从临街的门面望进去，只能瞥见咖啡 bar 的一角。这种 “犹抱琵琶半遮面” 的设计，是故意设下的悬念。推门后，脚下的灰色地砖会引导着脚步向前，光线也随之变化：入口处的玻璃墙让阳光放肆涌入，到了工作室区域，光线突然变得柔和 —— 原来天花板的 reticulated 板像一张细密的网，把强光筛成了斑驳的光斑，落在设计师的绘图板上，像咖啡渍晕开的诗意。

In the evening, the chandeliers above the bar gradually illuminate. These custom-made fixtures, made of frosted glass, cast a hazy, warm yellow light, perfectly illuminating the baristas latte art strokes without being glaring. The studios desk lamps offer a different perspective. Their slender metal legs resemble stirring rods, focusing their light onto the drawings, sharpening the lines and text. As the buzz of the cafe and the rustling of drawing pens intertwine in the light and shadow, a wondrous harmony emerges—like a spoonful of sugar in black coffee, achieving the perfect balance of bitterness and sweetness.

傍晚时分，吧台上方的吊灯会次第亮起。这些定制的灯具是磨砂玻璃材质，透出的光线带着朦胧的暖黄，恰好照亮咖啡师拉花的手势，却不会刺眼。工作室的台灯则是另一番模样，金属支架细细长长，像搅拌棒，灯光聚焦在图纸上，让线条与文字愈发清晰。当咖啡馆的喧嚣与绘图笔的沙沙声在光影里交织，便有了一种奇妙的和谐 —— 就像黑咖啡里加了一勺糖，苦与甜都恰到好处。

At 3 p.m., just as a group of chatting guests had departed from the long window table, the designers arrived to sit down with their computers. This custom-made table, with a durable and waterproof surface, can accommodate both coffee cups and design drawings. Hidden sockets beneath the table transform it into a makeshift workspace by plugging in a computer. The stools nearby are also flexible: guests can rest when theyre tired, or designers can pull them over to use as seats while discussing plans.

下午三点，靠窗的长桌刚送走一群闲聊的客人，设计师们就搬来电脑坐下。这张桌子是特意定制的，表面耐磨防水，既能放咖啡杯，也能摊开设计图。桌下藏着隐形的插座，插上电脑，这里就成了临时的办公点。旁边的矮凳也很灵活，客人累了可以坐，设计师讨论方案时也能随手拉过来当座位。

The most captivating aspect of the space is its breathable quality. Theres no rigid partition between the café and the studio, separated only by a row of low cabinets. These cabinets display madarq studios design models, serving as both a display and a natural divider. While sipping coffee, customers can glimpse the designers debating over the models; when a designer tires, they can simply return with a cup of coffee. This you-me-in layout removes the aloofness of design and imbues the café with a touch of intellectual sophistication. A regular customer remarked that she always loves to work on her projects here. Smelling the coffee and watching them sketch, it seems like my own inspiration is piqued.

最妙的是空间的 “呼吸感”。咖啡馆与工作室之间没有生硬的隔断，只用一排矮柜隔开。矮柜上摆着 madarq studio 的设计模型，既是展示，也是自然的分界。客人喝咖啡时，能瞥见设计师们对着模型争论；设计师累了，转身就能端一杯咖啡回来。这种 “你中有我” 的布局，让设计不再高高在上，也让咖啡馆多了几分知性。有位老顾客说，她总爱在这儿写方案，“闻着咖啡香，看他们画图，好像自己的灵感也会变多”。

Weekend workshops are the busiest time here. Designers bring in samples and materials to share renovation tips with the community. The long tables are rearranged, and a pot of fruit tea is brewed in the coffee area. Children curiously touch the models, while adults drink and ask questions. Sunlight filters through the glass windows, stretching everyones shadows into long, heartwarming paintings.

周末的 workshop 是这里最热闹的时候。设计师会搬来样品材料，给社区居民讲解装修的小知识。长桌被重新排列，咖啡区特意煮了壶果茶，孩子们围着模型好奇地摸来摸去，大人们边喝边提问。阳光透过玻璃窗，把所有人的影子拉得很长，像一幅温馨的画。

The designers at madarq studio say they created this space to make their design down-to-earth. Just like a good cup of coffee, its appreciation shouldnt be reserved for professionals; ordinary people can appreciate its quality. Today, its become a third space for nearby residents: students come to do homework, office workers enjoy a latte on their lunch break, and neighbors discuss community events. When design and life meet in this way, Madcoffee becomes more than just a cafe or studio, but a cup of slowly brewed coffee that becomes more delicious with each sip.

madarq studio 的设计师说，他们造这个空间，是想让设计 “接地气”。就像一杯好咖啡，不该只有专业人士懂，普通人也能尝出其中的好。如今，这里成了附近居民的 “第三空间”：学生来写作业，白领午休来喝杯拿铁，邻居们在这儿商量社区活动的布置。当设计与生活以这样的方式相遇，Madcoffee 就不再只是个咖啡馆或工作室，而是一杯慢慢熬煮的咖啡，越品越有滋味。

Late in the evening, the last customer departed, the barista began cleaning the bar, and the designer continued revising his blueprints under the lamplight. Beyond the glass door, moonlight streamed onto the wall, casting a silvery glow on the white concrete. This space, integrated into the community, demonstrated with its warmth that the best design should be like an everyday cup of coffee—both practical and heartwarming.

夜深了，最后一位客人离开，咖啡师开始打扫吧台，设计师还在灯光下修改图纸。玻璃门外，月光洒在墙上，给白色的混凝土镀上了一层银辉。这座融在社区里的空间，正用它的温度证明：最好的设计，就该像一杯日常的咖啡，既实用，又能温暖人心。
