About The Normal Cafe 咖啡店室內設計
《Normal Cafe》係一間位於台灣台北嘅咖啡店室內設計。原本嘅空間狹長,並由柱子分隔咗佈局。一條弧線由入口延伸到店舖後方,同吧枱融為一體,構成設計嘅核心。吧枱旁邊嘅柱子以鏡面包覆,減少視覺上嘅阻隔感。藍色馬賽克磁磚、灰色調同木質紋理係主要材料,而弧形吧枱上鋪設咗藍色石材枱面。設備收納喺吧枱下方,令意式咖啡機系統同沖煮過程保持可見。

- Unique Properties
- Intend to use the curved shape to connect and link the space, trying to merge the curved design with the counter which is the core of the coffee shop.The curved line stretches from the entrance to the end of the shop. Mirrors are used to cover the columns standing inside the counter for the sake of minimizing visual barriers. These efforts weaken the limitation of the building layout and free the customers’ view to flow around.
- Dimensions & Packaging
- The main equipment for running a coffee shop, such as refrigerators, coffee machines, central water filtration systems, storage space, are all placed in the cabinet under the counter. The location of each device is planned in consideration of the brewing process. The circular flow model enables two or more baristas working smoothly at the same time and perfectly meets the needs for storage. For the purpose of keeping the counter top tidy, only the mod bar espresso system which requires relatively simple brewing process is being exhibited.

- Production Technology
- The blue mosaic tiles, gray color and wood texture are the main elements of the design. Blue stone table on the curved counter is one of the highlights of the space. The wood texture on the ceiling creates a warm atmosphere, and the lighting around it further extends the visual space.
- Design Challenge
- The original space is narrow and long, and the columns in the middle makes the space even more restricted and scattered. We intend to use the curved shape to connect and link the space, trying to merge the curved design with the counter which is the core of the coffee shop. By integrating all the essential functions under the counter, the simple counter top allows the customers and baristas to focus on the process of brewing coffee without being interrupted by other unnecessary items.
- Research
- Emphasize the visual experience of coffee brewing process. The coffee machine is not just a device for making drinks, it is also a symbol of quality.The first thing is the barista. The process of makes coffee is then transformed into a performance on stage.
- Inspiration
- For the purpose of responding the logo of the shop and the idea of latte art,adopt curve line as the major element of our design. The rich layers and smooth lines of the entire space lead the customers’ eyes to the end of the shop gradually.Create an atmosphere in the way of conveying the essence of coffee. Main focus of the whole shop lays upon the Modbar Espresso System on the counter, where people can see how the baristas work directly from outside.
- Project Duration
- 2020,Taiwan Taipei
- Operation Flow
- What makes this coffee shop different from others is that we emphasize the visual experience of coffee brewing process. The coffee machine is not just a device for making drinks, it is also a symbol of quality. When we visit this shop, the first thing we see is the barista. The process of how he or she makes coffee is then transformed into a performance on stage.
