Café Bellou Coffee – Hannover

A small café in a prime location in Hannover — around 35 m² that had to be designed with precision. From concept through construction drawings to on-site coordination, the entire project was managed from a single point of contact — and coordinated remotely. Matthias Knab Matthias Knab Within a compact footprint, clearly defined zones were created: a generous counter as the heart of the café, the functional coffee preparation area behind it, a two-person table and standing tables with bar stools for guests inside, and an inviting outdoor area. The design concept combines the functional demands of a hospitality setting with an atmosphere that encourages guests to linger — every square metre cons... More

KURASU BKK

A coffee shop from Kyoto, renowned for its attention to detail, has inspired the creation of a new café that emphasizes atmosphere with a Japanese touch. The design incorporates Gami paper and the narrative of filter coffee-making. Because the building has an almost triangular shape, the space required careful planning and adjustments.

The New Drinkit Coffee Flagship

At Drinkit, the architects champion a new approach to chain café interiors. Rather than rolling out standardized designs, they focus on scaling memorable guest experiences. Polina Poludkina Core Design Principles Every Drinkit café is treated as a standalone project, specially crafted by the architectural team. At the heart of the design philosophy is a balance between standardized elements and unique spatial solutions created in deliberate contrast to the surrounding environment. Signature benches, numerous digital interfaces, and steel surfaces provide a consistent thread that makes the chain instantly recognizable. Yet each location receives its own concept, tailored to the local context. That’s why every new p... More

The practice of the bright room

612 Kamiaharamachi renovation : A Renovation Project612 Project 612 Kamiaharamachi renovation transforms a private residence into a public space, serving as a café and exhibition venue for the community. The house, once the home of the client's wife's father, is now becoming a coffee roastery for her husband.

Vietblend Office - Timeless Dimension

The project has been put into operation with its current status as a townhouse, with a spatial architecture that only meets the needs of family accommodation and living.

Cocobrew Express Yeppoon

Cocobrew Express is situated on the outskirts of Yeppoon, Queensland. The project seeks to subvert the traditional Drive Thru typology whilst enhancing amenity for motorists and pedestrians alike. Cameron Murchison Cameron Murchison The Drive Thru is a familiar building typology in Central Queensland. An underwhelming building that would otherwise be missed by passing commuters is forced to display its whereabouts with a pylon sign, separated from the building itself. This solution is not only inefficient but also contributes to the visual clutter found along our streets. The question that Cocobrew Express thus sets forth is: how can the building itself become the pylon sign? Despite its compact 72m2 footprint, the building utili... More
