Design Details

Unique Properties
It is a 16 m2 space, cut into a multi-sided bevel, designed to guide people’s vision by its interlacing axis. The bar is designed as a castoring triangle to correspond to the axes of the front door, the shelves behind the bar is gradiently arranged, the metal table is composed of two folded triangles, and the numbers on the wall is made by punched-plate steel. The layout sets out a boundary between guests, creating spaces within space, which is achieved by the meticulous spirit of craftsmanship.
Inspiration
The slanting design of the front door lets the passengers on the west side see the visual Identity wall more clearly, it also averts the reflection of the glass, preventing eye contact of the indoor customers and the pedestrians. Since usually only the couple would be in the shop, the floorplan is designed openly. The triangle bar is set in the middle of the space, forming a toroidal circulation, so when the roaster is working in the roasting place, the customers can shop freely in the space.
Realization and Technology
Metal, punched-plate steel, wood.
Project Duration and Location
The project was finished in February, 2020 in Douliu City, Yunlin County 640, Taiwan (R.O.C.).
