The 59是一家全新的咖啡店，它是由一栋70年代的老建筑改造而成的。不同于我们通常在岘港这个人潮汹涌的城市里所接触到的其他具有现代、新潮风格的咖啡馆，The 59隐藏在海防街的一条小巷子的尽头。
The 59 is a brand new coffee shop, which was converted from an old building from the 70s. Unlike the other café with a modern, up-to-date style that we usually catch in Da Nang- a crowded city, The 59 is hidden at the end of a small alley on Hai Phong street.
人们可能会问，是什么让 The 59 在其他几家咖啡馆中脱颖而出？ 让我们来回答。精巧的设计和主人敬业的建筑，小巷尽头的灰色水泥老房子最终变成了一家温馨友好的咖啡店，走的是复古风。
People may ask, what makes The 59 stand out amongst several other cafe? Let us answer. With a delicate design and an owner as a devoted architecture, the old house with gray concrete at the end of the alley eventually turns into a warm, friendly coffee shop, which follows the retro style.
据设计公司Viet-D介绍，这栋老建筑从70年代开始就一直存在，距今约有十年之久。不过，这栋古老而笨重的房子很少被主人使用。事实上，尽管有多达3层楼，却只有很少的房间被出租，其他的房间也只是几年来一直没有动静。
According to the design company Viet-D, this old building has always been there since the 70s, which was approximately a decade ago. However, this ancient, bulky house was rarely used by the owner. In fact, despite having up to 3 floors, yet only few rooms were rented, and the others just remained untouched for several years.
一段时间后，由于公司发现楼房后面有一座华丽的寺庙，于是他们做出决定，将后面的整面墙拆除，露出那座古庙的珍贵景观。虽然将这栋老建筑改造成咖啡店的理想是为了满足年轻一代的需求，但设计师却希望不要用这栋房子来破坏家族的记忆。
After a while, as the company discovered the beauty of a gorgeous temple behind the building, they came to the decision to uninstall the whole wall at the back, exposing the precious view of that ancient temple. Although the ideal of converting this old building into a coffee shop was to serve the needs of the young generation, yet the designer wished to not destroy the memories of the family with this house.
因此，他们决定保留洗石、瓷砖等旧材料，并将其放置在新材料旁边，与混凝土和钢筋形成高度对比。通过这样尽可能细致的设计，这组建筑师成功地创造了很多特色，以及在咖啡馆概念上的某些感觉。例如，第一眼看到这个庞大的灰色建筑时，我们就能立刻感受到它的酷炫，但仍然包含着一种怀旧的感觉。
Therefore, they decided to remain old materials such as wash stones, ceramic tile and place them next to new materials, which are highly contrasted with concrete and steel. By doing this as meticulous as possible, the group of architectures successfully created plenty features as well as certain feelings when it comes to the concept of the café. For instance, at very first sight, we can catch right away something pretty cool about this voluminous, grey building, yet still contains a nostalgic feeling of the leftover…
此外，位于大片树叶下的59号也为它带来了巨大的优势。它有助于在咖啡馆前建立一个绿色区域，与花园相连，并给顾客一个环保咖啡店的印象。此外，店主还不忘利用他家的旧物，如相机、卡带等。它们都被放置在咖啡馆的每一个小角落里，意在营造复古的主题，同时也保证了咖啡馆内部空间之间的紧密联系。
Moreover, being right under a big canopy of leaves brings The 59 an enormous advantage. It contributes to build up a green area in front of the café, which connects with the garden as well as gives the customers an impression of an environment-friendly coffee shop. Furthermore, the owner did not forget to utilize his family’s old items, such as the camera, cassette,… They are all placed in every small corner in the café, which is meant to create a vintage theme and also to make sure that the connection between spaces inside the café is tight.
