Cenchi Coffee / SpaceStation

Coffee, barista, and space will form an overall experience process, which is different in each cafe. In Cenchi Coffee the process will be "inviting guests to step into the bar area". We treat this small space facing the street like a big bar: the whole cafe is a bar area. The three modules of the ordering table, pour-over coffee bar, and espresso bar are fully open and arranged on the central axis. All guest seats are located inside the bar area, and customers can only sit in the area of the bar. The three bars can be surrounded, like the kitchen island at home, which breaks the distinction between the "front" and "back" of the bar.
