Space+Craft | 曼谷Kaizen咖啡餐厅-设计风向

Kaizen coffee co.是由年轻的咖啡师Arnun Wattanaporn创建的，他的热情深受澳大利亚充满活力的咖啡场景的影响。在受到咖啡爱好者的广泛欢迎之后，Kaizen最近在曼谷市中心的黄金地段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.

正面外观采用高透明玻璃装饰，第一个建筑挑战是从主要街道观看时，室内设计非常有吸引力。一个巨大的刻着“K”的圆橡木板用于改善，并辅以LED灯，然后贴在后墙上相应。从主要街道也可以很容易地观察到这个元素，行人很容易认出这是家咖啡厅。

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.

与以前拥有的Kaizen分店不同，咖啡馆老板的目的是进一步提升舒适的本质，而不是典型的现代和最小的咖啡馆氛围。Kaizen餐厅不仅供应各种咖啡和饮料，还提供新鲜烹制的各种美味健康餐点，每日早餐至晚餐。这在一定程度上影响了餐厅的室内设计。

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.

设计团队选择了天然饰面橡木和深灰砖作为主要原料。虽然橡木传达了一种舒适的感觉，但深灰色的砖给室内空间带来了精致感。柜台吧台和一楼墙面采用了独特的砖砌图案，为空间增添了设计细节和独特的个性。

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.

家具布局设计为开放式，在一楼和二楼都有一个功能上的扭曲。这样做的目的是为客户提供不同的座位组，让他们根据自己的意愿选择自己喜欢的桌子，无论他们是只喝咖啡还是只吃正餐。

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.
