About ERC Cafe 咖啡店室內設計

ERC Cafe係一個佔地218平方米、樓高兩層嘅咖啡店室內設計。空間佈局包括前門入口、櫃檯、廚房，以及設有梳化、吧檯座位、共享長檯同標準咖啡檯嘅用餐區。紅磚、金屬構件、磨石、玻璃、木材同礦物漆令空間充滿loft閣樓風格。布料裁成一段段，以拱形懸掛喺天花，柔化咗堅硬嘅表面，同時令光線同空氣更加柔和流通。挑高兩層嘅入口同落地玻璃窗令室內空間向街道敞開，令人聯想起溫室嘅感覺。

Design Challenge: As much fabric was used in the space, on one hand, the replacement of fabric in maintenance shall be considered, and on the other hand, the fabric shall be hung in seemingly effortless fashion so as to articulate the envisaged arch shape, which also led to its installation technique that was also challenging.
Research: In echoing with the unique styling of the architectural form of the building, as well as the tree plantation on the street, the spatial planning anchored on theme of infusion into the building while accentuating the serenity of cafe. In material selection, the solid and robust metal work was complemented by soft and translucent fabric material, as well as by the authentic red brick wall, for a balanced spatial quality.
In referencing the formal vocabulary of greenhouse arch, fabric was cut into segments and hung from the ceiling as light and air diffuser, as well as serving as spatial demarcation in an ever changing forest environment.
Inspiration: As this Cafe must echo the creative aspiration of Infusion of red brick wall and plant, as well as new visuals, as requested by the client, along with its corner location and curtain wall glass windows, the design of the overall space was anchored on a greenhouse filled with trees, wind, light, i.e. a domain of enriched dynamic visual experiences.
Project Duration: The project was finished in February, 2019 in New Taipei City, Taiwan.
Operation Flow: In terms of spatial layout, it was about expanding the double ceiling height area at the building entrance, which increased the vertical spatial connection with transparent spatial quality, and the kitchen was moved to the same side as the counter so as to create a more functional and flowing working circulation, as the original kitchen was designated as a shared seating area with unobstructed window view out.
