空间叙事的巧妙分层：“点亮咖啡Shimokitazawa”项目最令人称道的是其对空间叙事的精妙分层。建筑师巧妙地利用了有限的空间，创造了两种截然不同的咖啡体验。一楼的设计强调互动，通过开放的布局和对角线柜台，拉近了咖啡师与顾客之间的距离，营造出充满活力和沟通的氛围。而二楼则更注重沉浸，通过宁静的氛围和特别设计的家具，让顾客专注于咖啡的品质和制作工艺。这种分层不仅丰富了顾客的体验，也体现了设计对不同需求的深刻理解和满足。

材质运用的朴素与精致：项目在材质运用上的处理堪称典范。设计团队选择了结构胶合板作为主要材料，体现了朴素和直接的设计理念，与咖啡馆的核心价值相契合。这种材料的运用不仅节约成本，也营造出一种温暖、亲切的氛围。同时，设计师又通过Urushi漆桌等细节设计，展现了对工艺的尊重和对品质的追求。这种对比和融合，使得空间既实用又充满艺术气息，实现了对“平凡中的非凡”这一设计理念的完美诠释。材质的选择和运用，恰到好处地烘托了项目的核心主题。

以体验为核心的设计理念：该项目最大的亮点在于它以体验为核心的设计理念。建筑师不仅仅关注空间的美学和功能，更注重如何通过设计来提升顾客的咖啡体验。开放的柜台设计、与街景的连接、对咖啡制作工艺的强调、以及对二楼氛围的营造，都体现了设计者对顾客需求的深入洞察。通过最小化的建筑干预，设计师将重点放在了家具和材料的布置上，从而最大限度地丰富了咖啡体验，使咖啡馆成为一个日常与非凡交汇的场所，完美体现了“让非凡成为日常生活的自然延伸”的设计目标。

The Extraordinary in The Normal-LIGHT UP COFFEE Shimokitazawa最初是一家位于一楼的两座咖啡馆和咖啡烘焙厂，二楼用于存储。此后，它被翻修成一个17个座位的场所，座位延伸到二楼。这标志着LIGHT UP COFFEE的第三个设计项目，这是一个咖啡馆概念，源于店主希望让咖啡师的咖啡体验更加触手可及和个性化。其目的是创造一个空间，让非凡成为日常生活的自然延伸，在每一层楼都提供两种不同的体验。
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.

Plans

一楼：与咖啡师面对面交流-位于一个拐角处，由两条街道环绕，该建筑的梯形平面图得到了充分利用。一个对角放置的柜台安装在空间的中心，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，使顾客能够近距离享受咖啡制作过程。咖啡师和顾客之间自然会产生对话，而窗户的开口将咖啡馆与外面热闹的街景连接起来。柜台和厨房由结构胶合板制成，遵循一种连贯的设计语言，平等对待这两个元素，体现了朴素和直接的沟通。
First Floor: Face-to-Face Communication with Baristas -Located on a corner lot, bordered by two streets, the building's trapezoidal floor plan is utilized to its fullest. A diagonally placed counter was installed in the center of the space, allowing customers to take in the view from the three large street-facing windows. This design highlights the baristas, enabling customers to closely enjoy the coffee-making process. Conversations naturally spark between baristas and customers, while the window openings connect the cafe to the lively street scene outside. The counter and kitchen are crafted from structural plywood, following a cohesive design language that treats both elements equally, embodying unadorned and straightforward communication.

二楼：尊重工艺-与一楼明亮而充满活力的氛围相比，二楼提供了一个更安静的空间，顾客可以专注于他们的咖啡。LIGHT UP COFFEE强调从生产到提取的每个阶段的工艺。受到这种奉献精神的启发，二楼的设计体现了咖啡制作的艺术性和精确性。在空间的中心，有一张大桌子，上面涂有光滑的漆技术Urushi，唤起了拿铁艺术的渐变感。桌子反映了内部和放置在上面的咖啡杯，增强了一种特殊/独特的咖啡体验。此外，艺术家Ben Nagaoka创作了受该品牌概念和颜色启发的艺术品，进一步提升了空间。
Second Floor: Honoring Craftsmanship -In contrast to the bright and dynamic atmosphere of the first floor, the second floor offers a calmer space where customers can focus on their coffee. LIGHT UP COFFEE emphasizes craftsmanship in every stage, from production to extraction. Inspired by this dedication, the second-floor design reflects the artistry and precision of coffee-making. At the center of the space stands a large table, finished with a glossy lacquer technique Urushi, evoking the gradients of latte art. The table reflects the interior and coffee cups placed upon it, enhancing the sense of a special/unique coffee experience. Additionally, artist Ben Nagaoka created artworks inspired by the brand's concept and colors, further elevating the space.

通过将建筑干预降至最低，设计重点是通过家具和材料的布置和展示来丰富咖啡体验。希望这家咖啡馆能成为所有游客的日常生活和非凡相交的地方。
By keeping architectural interventions to a minimum, the design focuses on enriching the coffee experience through the arrangement and presentation of furniture and materials. The hope is for this cafe to become a place where the every day and the extraordinary intersect for all who visit.
