mo labo coffee kiosk

At the junction of the shopping mall and office on the fourth floor of Shanghai Plaza 66, the mo labo coffee kiosk quietly occupies a small corner, bringing a whiff of coffee aroma to the office people. In terms of design, we use materials as the starting point of the narrative: the mottled texture of artistic handmade tiles, the cool veins of natural stone, and the rustic, eco-friendly touch of coffee grounds panels—together they build the composed, quality feel that specialty coffee deserves, while also creating a visual pull from afar to up close within the depth of view along the mall passageway. Rui Du Rui Du Rui Du Rui Du Looking from the mall corridor, the colors of the handmade tiles gradually unfold from... More

Coffee Mellow

Coffee Mellow is a meticulously orchestrated space of aesthetic tranquility—a carefully curated environment where visitors experience complete visual and sensory rest during their time within it. Curated Serenity is not merely a design concept, but the fundamental principle governing every spatial decision. The space is constructed through stark material contrasts. Cold, refined stainless steel intersects with the rough texture and weight of stone, emphasizing sculptural architectural beauty. The cool temperature of metal and stone is neutralized by a large-scale overhead panel light that casts uniform, diffused illumination across the bar counter, imparting visual stability to the entire space. Within this achromatic backdrop, strat... More

Project • By SDG Architecture, LLCChurches

North West Bible Church

In the 1970’s, a new highway was planned to encircle the metro Tucson area along the Pantano Wash. Christ Community Church purchased property along this new route, and had a new campus designed to encircle a tall prayer tower. Like many master plans, things didn’t pan out as planned. The highway was not built, and the prayer tower was never completed. Caption Through the years the church grew in size and in the campus buildings, but growth deviated from the original plan and took on a disorganized fashion, which the current congregation has to deal with on a daily basis. SDG was asked to help re-think the campus; what are the possibilities to redo parts of the campus while both preserving newer buildings, creating a sense... More

Odê Café

A brand of specialty coffee designed to expand and guarantee the experience of enjoying a cup of coffee. Café Odê becomes a celebration, an ode to the existence of coffee, its flavors, tradition, technique, history and technology that are involved in the constant cycle of a coffee bean. Here, the past and the modern touch like a thread that finds its own end in a circular design. This is where the cycle closes, permeated by the qualities of good coffee. Lucas Eulito Lucas Eulito Lucas Eulito The architectural project was based on the same principles as the brand identity, creating a visual universe that invites inside anyone passing by. Using white Portuguese stone on the floor, both externally and internally, t... More

% Arabica

A traditional high tower houses the first % Arabica store in Xi'an. It keeps the clean monotone design that has become the signature of all Arabica shops, but it's set apart by its mystical verticality. Photos by: Shen Hui As you enter through its glass doors, the walls rise to 12 meters tall and pull your gaze upwards. The walls, covered with more than 4,000 slanted roof tiles glazed in white, honor the legacy of the Terracota Army that stands protecting the city, both through material and repetition. Photos by: Shen Hui On the very top appears a glowing, diffused, almost heavenly % sign that magically crowns the space. Through its symmetry and height, the architecture stands strong and impactful.

The first one is the coffee production zone which accumulates all the auxiliary spaces, the second one is the interi... More
