自2015年第一家Chouifong Tea Cafe开始运营以来,Chouifong种植园获得了大量游客的关注,成为清莱最著名的旅游景点之一。由于第一家咖啡馆的游客如此之多,为了满足需要,成立了Chouifong Tea Cafe 2。二期工程位于第一间咖啡馆附近的种植园山上。在咖啡馆运营之前,该地区有工厂和零售店,后来新的咖啡馆建成,取代了零售店,靠近工厂,可以看到美丽的风景。

Since the first Chouifong Tea Cafe began operation in 2015, the Chouifong plantation has gained plenty of tourists’ attentions and became one of the most famous tourist attractions in Chiangrai. Due to such an excess of tourists in the first cafe, Chouifong Tea Cafe 2 is established in order to serve the need. The second phase is located on the plantation hill near the first cafe. Before the operation of the cafe, there were factory and retail in the area, then the new cafe is built replacing the retail, near the factory, where beautiful view is seen.

该项目包括一个有250个座位的用餐区,一个大型纪念品商店和展览区,工作人员在那里演示茶叶的制作,并讲述历史。然而,这个项目的重要关注点是通用设计,因为在第一家咖啡馆运营多年后,人们发现有长者的家庭团体是项目的主要客户。设计师建议项目的地板为长方形,使大多数区域都能面对风景。与第一间咖啡馆不同的是,第一间咖啡馆被推倒在土地上,让游客在顶部看到全景,而Chouifong Tea Cafe 2站在山上,因为它有大量的可用面积,而且附近还有现有的工厂。

The project consists of a dining area with 250 seats, a large souvenir shop and the exhibition area where the staffs demonstrate tea making, and where the histories are told. However, the significant concern in this project is the universal design because after the first cafe has been operated for years, it is found that family groups with elders are the main clients of the projects. The designers propose the project’s floor to be in rectangular shape that allows most areas to face the view. Unlike the first cafe which was pushed down into the land allowing visitors to see panoramic view on the top, the Chouifong Tea Cafe 2 stands on the hill because it has massive usable area and there is the existing factory nearby.

设计的主要概念是为游客提供清晰的种植景观和接近自然的环境,同时不给老人和残疾人带来不便,因此设计必须有效地处理这些条件。为了拓宽斜坡区的风景,用餐区按照土地轮廓被分成几个台阶。这使得每张桌子上的所有顾客都能以不同的视线水平看到风景。此外,为了防止用餐区受到大雨的影响,中间的空间增加了延伸的屋檐来覆盖用餐区。在屋檐下,用餐区周围设有坡道,这使得残疾人可以进入所有平台。

The main concept of the design is to provide visitors with clear plantation view and close to the natural surroundings without inconveniences for elders and disabled people, thus design must deal with these conditions efficiently. To widen the scenery in the slope area, the dining area is split into several steps following the land contour. This allows all customers from every table to see the view with different eye’s level. Moreover, to prevent the dining area from heavy rain, the in-between space with extended eaves is added to cover the dining area. Under the eaves, the ramp is provided surrounding the dining area, and this allow the handicapped to access all platforms.

根据业主的要求,即在一层建筑中有大量的可用区域,所以平面有一个巨大的尺寸,这通常与空间内的光线不足有关。分散的天窗被选为一个特征。这些天窗不仅解决了问题,而且还避免了雨水造成的问题,如使用上的不便和维护上的困难。这些天窗被设计成具有特殊和独特的特点。

According to the owner’s requirements which are the large number of usable areas in one storey building, so the floor plane has an enormous size which usually followed with the lack of light within the space. The scattering skylights were chosen as a feature. The skylights do not only solve the problem but also avoid the problems causing by the rain such as inconvenience in usability and difficulty in maintenance. These skylights are designed to have special and unique characteristic.

换句话说,开口不是由具有许多连接结构的巨大玻璃平面覆盖,而是每一个玻璃平面都被挤压并不同程度地扭曲成圆锥状,因此只使用一小块玻璃平面,没有任何令人不愉快的连接;通过这种设计,天窗的成本得以降低。这种圆锥状的开口也有助于整个区域的光线扩散,并在每个地方创造出不同时间的几个图案;这种开口的体积非常大,可以在下面种植树木,而且,这些天窗与周围的山脉和谐地排列。沿着入口处的石墙,只留下一个空隙供游客进入,作为风洞,游客可以面对风的吹拂,作为一种欢迎的问候。在穿过这条隧道的过程中,昏暗的气氛在通往用餐区的路上逐渐明亮起来,游客在这里享受美食和种植园的风景。这个新项目的材料与第一个咖啡馆相协调,使用松木、钢、玻璃和山石。这些材料代表了Chouifong有机种植园的理念。

In other words, openings are not covered by huge glass planes with many joint structure but each of them is extruded and differently distorted into cone-like shape, thus there is only a small piece of glass plane used without any unpleasant-to-eye joint; with this design, the skylights’ cost is reduced. This cone-like openings also help diffuse light sufficiently for entire areas, and create several patterns from different time in each spot; this openings’ volume is so immense that trees can be planted underneath them, also, these skylights are arranged harmoniously with the surrounding mountains. Along the stone wall at the entrance area, only a void is left for visitors to enter and it acts as the wind tunnel that the visitors may face the blow of the wind as a welcome greeting. During moving through this tunnel, the dim atmosphere is gradually brightened along the way to dining area, where visitors enjoy their foods and plantation scenery. The materials of this recent project are harmonious with the first cafe by using pinewood, steel, glass and, additionally, mountain stone. These materials represent the Chouifong’s philosophy of the organic plantation.
