空间布局的巧妙运用：Light Up 咖啡店 Shimokitazawa 的设计巧妙地利用了其梯形场地，创造了极具吸引力的空间体验。一楼的对角线吧台设计是核心亮点，它不仅优化了空间流通，更将顾客与咖啡师的互动最大化。吧台的位置使得顾客可以从三个面向街道的窗户欣赏外部街景，同时近距离观察咖啡制作过程，增强了感官体验。这种布局策略打破了传统咖啡店的封闭感，将室内空间与外部环境紧密联系，营造了一种开放、活力且引人入胜的氛围，是该项目在空间组织上的关键成功。

材料与工艺的深度融合：该项目在材料选择和工艺运用上体现了对细节的极致追求。结构胶合板被用于吧台和厨房，体现了设计语言的统一性，也突出了简约、直接的交流氛围。二楼的桌子，通过 Urushi 涂饰工艺，呈现出类似拿铁拉花的渐变效果，是对咖啡制作工艺的致敬。这种设计手法不仅提升了空间的质感，也与咖啡馆所倡导的“尊重工艺”的理念相呼应。此外，艺术家 Ben Nagaoka 的艺术作品融入其中，进一步提升了空间的艺术格调，使得咖啡馆不仅仅是一个饮品场所，更是一个体验艺术与文化的场所。

体验导向的设计理念：Light Up 咖啡店的设计核心在于提升咖啡体验，这体现在空间规划、材料选择、以及与顾客的互动中。一楼的设计侧重于咖啡师与顾客的面对面交流，强调咖啡制作过程的透明性和互动性。二楼则营造了安静、专注的氛围，让顾客沉浸于咖啡的品鉴之中。这种双层设计，两种不同的体验，满足了不同顾客的需求，也体现了“平凡中的非凡”的设计理念。通过对家具、材料的巧妙布置，以及与艺术品的结合，设计师成功地将咖啡馆打造成了一个能够引发人们日常生活灵感和非凡体验的场所。

Extraordinary in Ordinary- LIGHT UP Coffee Shop Xiabeize was originally a coffee shop and coffee roasting room with two seats on the first floor, and a storage room on the second floor.. Later, it was transformed into a store with 17 seats, extending the seating to the second floor. This is the third design project of LIGHT UP coffee shop, and the concept of the coffee shop originated from the owner's desire to make the barista's coffee experience more approachable and personalized. Its goal is to create a space where the extraordinary becomes a natural extension of daily life, with two floors providing two different experiences.
平凡中的非凡 - LIGHT UP 咖啡店下北泽最初是一家一楼有两个座位的咖啡馆和咖啡烘焙室，二楼用作储藏室。后来，它被改造成一家有 17 个座位的店，座位延伸到二楼。这是 LIGHT UP 咖啡店的第三个设计项目，咖啡馆的概念源于店主希望让咖啡师的咖啡体验更加平易近人和个性化。其目标是创造一个空间，让非凡成为日常生活的自然延伸，两层楼提供两种不同的体验。

平面图

First Floor: Face to face communication with baristas - Located on a street corner adjacent to two streets, the trapezoidal layout of the building is fully utilized. A diagonal counter is set up in the center of the space, allowing customers to enjoy the scenery from three large windows facing the street. This design highlights the barista and allows customers to enjoy the coffee making process up close. The conversation between the barista and the customer naturally unfolds, while the window opening connects the caf é with the lively street scene outside. The counter and kitchen are made of structural plywood, following a coherent design language that treats the two elements equally, reflecting a simple and direct communication.
一楼：与咖啡师面对面交流 - 位于街角地段，毗邻两条街道，建筑的梯形平面布局得到充分利用。空间中央设置了一个对角放置的柜台，让顾客可以从三个面向街道的大窗户欣赏风景。这种设计突出了咖啡师，使顾客可以近距离享受咖啡制作过程。咖啡师和顾客之间自然地展开对话，而窗户开口将咖啡馆与外面热闹的街景连接起来。柜台和厨房采用结构胶合板制作，遵循一种连贯的设计语言，将两个元素平等对待，体现了朴素而直接的交流。

Second Floor: Respect Craftsmanship - In sharp contrast to the bright and vibrant atmosphere on the first floor, the second floor provides a quieter space where customers can focus on their coffee. LIGHT UP coffee shop emphasizes the craftsmanship at every stage from production to extraction. Inspired by this spirit of dedication, the design of the second floor reflects the artistry and precision of coffee making. At the center of the space is a large table, completed with Urushi finish technology, reminiscent of the gradient of latte art. The table reflects the interior decoration and the coffee cups placed on top, enhancing the special/unique coffee experience. In addition, artist Ben Nagaoka created artworks inspired by brand concepts and colors, further elevating the level of the space.
二楼：尊重工艺 - 与一楼明亮而充满活力的氛围形成鲜明对比的是，二楼提供了一个更加安静的空间，顾客可以专注于他们的咖啡。LIGHT UP 咖啡店强调从生产到萃取的每个阶段的工艺。受这种奉献精神的启发，二楼的设计反映了咖啡制作的艺术性和精确性。空间的中心是一张大桌子，采用光面漆技术 Urushi 完成，让人联想到拿铁艺术的渐变。桌子反映了室内装饰和放在上面的咖啡杯，增强了特殊/独特的咖啡体验感。此外，艺术家 Ben Nagaoka 创作了受品牌概念和色彩启发的艺术品，进一步提升了空间的档次。

The design minimizes architectural intervention and focuses on enriching the coffee experience through the arrangement and display of furniture and materials. I hope this caf é will become a hub for the daily lives and extraordinary experiences of all visitors.
设计将建筑干预降到最低限度，通过家具和材料的布置和展示，专注于丰富咖啡体验。希望这家咖啡馆成为所有来访者日常生活和非凡体验的交汇之地。
