香港天星碼頭 %Arabica 咖啡店-設計風向

網紅咖啡%Arabica 的新店位於香港維多利亞港天星碼頭大樓頂層，麵積僅為17平方米，由日本工作室Puddle設計，室內白色、混凝土和輕質木材表麵與大樓現有結構相匹配。

Japanese studio Puddle has designed a coffee shop inside a ferry terminal building in Hong Kong’s Kowloon area, with white, concrete and light wood surfaces to match the existing structure.The tiny cafe, % Arabica, measures 17 square metres and is located on the top level of the Star Ferry Terminal Building on the Kowloon side of Hong Kong’s Victoria Harbour.

發光的 “%” logo放置在入口處的白色店麵招牌上，招牌隱藏了咖啡館的卷簾門。

The entrance is defined by a glowing % logo glows, placed across a white built-in unit that conceals the cafe’s roller shutter front facade.

咖啡店裏麵是一個不大不小的方形房間，除了一個操作台外，幾乎什麼都沒有。在這裏，員工可以接待顧客，處理付款和準備咖啡。櫥櫃被淡綠色瓷磚包裹著，白色的台麵放置在窗戶牆前，牆上還有一個大大的%標誌。

Inside is a modest, square room with hardly anything on its floors, except for a counter that houses all of the cafe’s workings. From here, employees greet customers, processes payments and prepare the coffee.The cabinet is wrapped in pale green tiles with a white countertop, and positioned in front of a windowed wall that has another large % logo across it.

店麵品牌是Puddle設計咖啡店的關鍵元素。地板上、定製雨傘上，以及其他品牌產品上，也可以看到小小的標誌設計。

Branding is a key element to Puddle’s design of the coffee shop. Small graphic touches can also be seen on the floor, across custom-made umbrellas, and on other branded products.

後牆上覆蓋著的混凝土，與地麵材料相匹配，與建築的其他部分無縫地融合在一起。牆壁上排列著許多玻璃架子、木支架，對稱地展示著咖啡袋。除了玻璃牆和混凝土牆，咖啡館裏的另一麵牆壁采用的是用淺色木板，下麵是配套的長凳。這種自然材料的引入有助於軟化空間的工業特性。

A rear cwall is covered in concrete to match the floors, which seamlessly blend in with the rest of the building. Arranged across the wall are numerous glass shelves with wooden supports, which symmetrically display coffee bags.Aside from the glass facade and roller front, the only other wall in the cafe is covered in light wood boards, with a matching built-in bench below. This introduction of a natural material helps to soften the project’s industrial character.

外麵是一個喝咖啡的地方。在這裏，窗前整齊放置著白色的圓形高腳桌，窗戶上有綠色的窗格。由於咖啡館內部空間有限，顧客則可以在咖啡館外訂購他們最喜歡的咖啡飲料。

Outside is a place for drinking coffee, which Puddle added to the public walkway in the terminus. Here, white high-post tables with round tops are positioned in front of a wall of windows with green panes.As space inside the cafe is limited, customers can order their favourite coffee drinks and relax outside the café where white bar tables are arranged neatly along the expansive east-facing windows.
