这次将要改造的项目位于东四南大街，地点位于人民艺术剧院菊隐剧场旁边，只有一墙之隔，门前正对的就是史家胡同。初勘现场，便被门前车水马龙的街景吸引，但是随之而来的也面临很多问题，如何能够让改造以后的空间能够融入街道，以及如何给予一个“不规则空间”更多的可能性与生命力，妥善处理空间的各种规格及材料的承重柱体，让空间整体更为和谐统一是本次改造的重点。这是一个狭长的空间，因为朝向原因，下午空间的最末端几乎没有什么自然光线。因此在空间的布置上，将空间安置成为四段，为了把最好的窗外街景给到客人，并希望用餐的客人成为街景的一部分，所以在入口的位置设置了座椅区，然后将中段的位置作为咖啡的点单及制作区域，通过更开放的动线，让咖啡师给前段和中后段的坐位提供服务都更为方便，在空间的最末端，因为已经几乎没有什么自然光，所以作为洗手间来使用。在材料的选择上，贯穿了新生于旧的逻辑，让原始的建筑结构柱，红砖及混凝土墙体都重见光明，保留空间的“骨骼”，并在新材料的呼应下，得以焕发新的生命。新材料的选择上，在人能够接触到的位置，都尽量选择了相对温润的木板，另外其他的所有新建的顶面、墙面、地面上，都混入咖啡粉、不增加任何色浆，直接调色批刮处理，希望因为这次因为“咖啡”而改造的这个场所，就用“咖啡”让材料统一纯粹，通过这样的方式，给予空间使用者“原汤化原食”的体验。
The project for renovation is situated adjacent to the People's Art Theater Juyin Theater on Dongsi South Street, with Shijia Hutong merely separated by a wall. The vibrant street ambiance at the entrance caught our attention during the initial site survey. However, several challenges emerged, including the integration of the renovated space into the street and the exploration of additional possibilities and vitality for this "irregular space." The primary objective of this renovation is to address the structural concerns of various load-bearing columns while creating a harmonious and cohesive overall space.This narrow space is characterized by a lack of natural light in the afternoon due to its orientation. To address this, the space has been divided into four sections, each designed to offer guests the best possible view of the street outside. The seating area is strategically positioned at the entrance to maximize exposure to natural light. Through this renovation, the boundaries between indoors and outdoors have been deliberately blurred, allowing the interior to seamlessly incorporate the changing seasons and vibrant street scenes. The middle section serves as a dedicated area for coffee ordering and preparation, facilitating an open workflow that enables baristas to conveniently serve guests in all three sections. Finally, the end of the space, where natural light is scarce, has been allocated for restroom facilities.In terms of material selection, the concept of "rebirth from old" is emphasized, highlighting the restoration of the original building structure, columns, red bricks, and concrete walls. Through the integration of new materials, these elements are revitalized. To create a warm and inviting atmosphere, wood panels are predominantly chosen in areas where people can interact with them. Furthermore, all newly constructed ceilings, walls, and floors are blended with coffee powder, without the addition of pigments, and directly tinted and scraped. This deliberate approach aims to provide space users with an authentic and unadulterated sensory experience, emphasizing the use of raw materials throughout.
