Watch Touch Hear Smell

Have a taste of  life itself ! May the Force be with me!

Kilogram是一个212平方米的咖啡店,旨在满足咖啡馆的需求和灵活的工作空间。除了商业用途外,主要目的是建立一个和谐的环境,与周围的工作环境巧妙地融合在一起。它限制但不过分限制。一个日常工作的多功能实验室。

Kilogram is a 212 m2 coffee shop designed to meet the needs of coffeehouse and flexible working space.Beside the use of commercial purpose, the main purpose was to build a harmonious environment blends in discreetly with its surrounding working environment. It confines without being overly restrictive; a versatile laboratory for the daily routines.  

咖啡店位于街道和一栋建于20世纪80年代的殖民住宅的前面区域之间,作为住宅的延伸,作为日常的共享办公空间,让它简单地成为一个与现有结构相对立的宽阔阳台。

Situated between the street and the front area of a colonial house built in the 1980s, the coffee shop stands as an extension to the house which operates daily as a shared office space; making it simply a broad veranda set against the existing structure.

该项目由Pranala Associates和Conture Concrete Lab联合设计,是对办公大楼内日益增长的交通和空置区域之前用作租户车库的回应。为了适应不断增长的生态系统,我们开发了一个多功能平台,特别关注建筑façade的正式组成,以及私人用户和公共游客之间的访问分离。合作的作用对设计的结果很重要,特别是在酒吧façade的混凝土饰面、半户外地板和家具的探索中。

The biggest challenge faced in the project is ensuring attachments of new structures into the predominantly existing building while employing minimal and non-intrusive building elements. To meet these needs, the massing should be first and foremost determined by the intended flow of users from the entryway, all the way to the stretch of open spaces bordering the west end area of the site. Steel grating and in-situ concrete flooring were employed to define the circulation and the seating areas respectively, bridging the new access from the existing building’s terrace. The lower ceiling makes the interior space more intimate, contrasting the adjacent patios which are rather open and flexible for social events.
