About The Henley 咖啡店室内设计

The Henley 是位于香港的一间咖啡店室内设计项目。入口形似航天器舱门,引领人们进入一条狭长的走廊。走廊尽头,访客便抵达咖啡吧台与主用餐区。绿植、曲线、定制灯具以及质感与饰面各异的材料被运用于天花、墙面与地面之上。钢材、铝材、混凝土、木材、特色玻璃与织物共同营造出软硬表面之间的平衡。约250平方米的不规则空间内,布局设计支持环形动线的流畅穿行。

Unique Properties: Through an entrance that resembles the door of a spacecraft, you enter the brightly lit space through a long, narrow corridor. As you reach the end of the corridor, you are welcomed by the coffee bar and the main seating area.

To highlight the coffee experience and ensure comfort while recreating a space journey within the irregularly-shaped space, we incorporated plants, curves, custom-made lighting, materials in different textures and finishes into the ceiling, walls and flooring.
Dimensions & Packaging: Space area: approx. 250 sq m
Ceiling height: 2.4 m - 3.0 m

Production Technology: Whilst it was our intention to create an environment that imitates spacecrafts, our team felt that it was important to achieve a balance between hard and soft, warm and cold materials, hence we included greenery and carefully handpicked the following materials to be used within the space:

Steel (in multiple finishes and treatments), aluminum, concrete, wood, feature glass and ESG fabrics and paint
Design Challenge: Much effort was paid to embody the design concept and a sense of spaciousness into the space, which has curved walls and a comparatively low ceiling. Since there is a void right in the middle of the space, and the design process began before the building was even complete, many edits had to be made to the original design in order to apply it to the space. Last but not least, we took extra care in integrating details into the narrow entrance and long corridor to lead users into the main space.
Inspiration: Inspired by the client’s brand aesthetics, the neighbourhood’s history as Hong Kong’s inner-city airport and the rise of space tourism, we created the interior design of the client’s tenth location in Hong Kong with a palette and a careful selection of materials that align with the concept and the client’s brand identity.
Project Duration: The project started in May 2022, and finished in December 2022 in Hong Kong.
Operation Flow: The design and flow are strongly connected to the architecture of the space. Given that the main space is tucked behind a narrow entrance and long corridor, we paid extra attention in designing the space for a circular flow: customers enter the spacecraft experience by the corridor, enjoy the brand’s coffees, pastries and merchandise, and appreciate the feature points of the interior design.
