Coffee Shop
The design team began with the imagery of the "good old days" and took cues from the Showa era to build a flagship store that is worthy of its brand. This renovation of a sixty-year-old two-story shophouse into a modern coffee shop in the Chihkan District of Tainan. The steel frame and iron cladding of the old house are transformed into a place with a refined essence of time. The reinterpretation of an old Japanese house through new imagination. The traces of begone days and the smell of coffee together makes the space into a warm one.
