Space+Craft | 曼穀Kaizen咖啡餐廳-設計風向

Kaizen coffee co.是由年輕的咖啡師Arnun Wattanaporn創建的，他的熱情深受澳大利亞充滿活力的咖啡場景的影響。在受到咖啡愛好者的廣泛歡迎之後，Kaizen最近在曼穀市中心的黃金地段Ekamai推出了它的新家。

Kaizen coffee co. is known as one of the best specialty coffee places in Bangkok, founded by a young barista, Arnun Wattanaporn whose passion is highly influenced by Australia’s vibrant coffee scene. After a widely successful reception from its coffee lovers, Kaizen has recently launched its new home in Ekamai, one of the prime locations in the heart of Bangkok.

正麵外觀采用高透明玻璃裝飾，第一個建築挑戰是從主要街道觀看時，室內設計非常有吸引力。一個巨大的刻著“K”的圓橡木板用於改善，並輔以LED燈，然後貼在後牆上相應。從主要街道也可以很容易地觀察到這個元素，行人很容易認出這是家咖啡廳。

Surrounded by multiple high-rise buildings in some of the most vibrant areas in Bangkok, the double space stand-alone establishment of 100 sq.m. was raised among them. Having the front façade decorated with high clear glass, the first architectural challenge was to make the interior design outstanding and attractive when viewed from the main street. An enormous round oak plate engraved with ‘K’ for Kaizen, supplemented with LED light, was then affixed on the back wall accordingly. This element can be easily observed from the main street and thus presents a very firm identity to the café.

與以前擁有的Kaizen分店不同，咖啡館老板的目的是進一步提升舒適的本質，而不是典型的現代和最小的咖啡館氛圍。Kaizen餐廳不僅供應各種咖啡和飲料，還提供新鮮烹製的各種美味健康餐點，每日早餐至晚餐。這在一定程度上影響了餐廳的室內設計。

Unlike the previously owned Kaizen branches, the café owner aims to enhance further essence of coziness rather than a typically modern and minimal café atmosphere. This new Kaizen will not serve only a variety of coffee and beverages, but also a wide range of scrumptious healthy meals freshly prepared and served daily during breakfast till dinner. This intention has changed Kaizen’s interior design concept in both style and functions.

設計團隊選擇了天然飾麵橡木和深灰磚作為主要原料。雖然橡木傳達了一種舒適的感覺，但深灰色的磚給室內空間帶來了精致感。櫃台吧台和一樓牆麵采用了獨特的磚砌圖案，為空間增添了設計細節和獨特的個性。

The natural finish oak woods and dark grey bricks weเre opted as the main principle materials. The result is the harmonious combination and beautiful contrast of the structure at once. While the oak woods transmit a sense of coziness, the dark grey bricks bring about the sophistication to the interior space. The distinct brick pattern was installed at the counter bar and the first floor wall, adding the design details as well as the exceptional character to the space.

家具布局設計為開放式，在一樓和二樓都有一個功能上的扭曲。這樣做的目的是為客戶提供不同的座位組，讓他們根據自己的意願選擇自己喜歡的桌子，無論他們是隻喝咖啡還是隻吃正餐。

The furniture layout was designed as an open plan with a functional twist on both first and second floors. This was done to propose a variety of seating groups for the clients to have options of their preferred table depending on their desire whether they will have only coffee or meals.
