Light Up Coffee / Spicy Architects

The Extraordinary within the Ordinary - LIGHT UP COFFEE Shimokitazawa was originally a first-floor two-seat cafe and coffee roastery, with the second floor being used for storage. It has since been renovated into a 17-seat establishment with seating extended to the second floor. This marks the third design project for LIGHT UP COFFEE, a cafe concept born from the owner's desire to make the barista coffee experience more accessible and personal. The aim was to create a space where the extraordinary becomes a natural extension of everyday life, with two distinct experiences offered on either floor.
