值得注意的是，该咖啡馆的咖啡师确实是香港特种咖啡协会举办的2021年香港杯品酒师锦标赛的冠军。这是一场类似于品酒比赛的比赛，需要对嗅觉、味觉和视力的高度敏感，以及丰富的经验来识别咖啡的成分。
It is worth noting that the barista of the cafe is indeed the Champion of Hong Kong Cup Tasters Championship 2021 organized by Hong Kong Specialty Coffee Association. It was a competition similar to a wine-tasting competition that required intense sensitivity of smell, taste, and eyesight as well as a lot of experience to identify the ingredients of the coffee.
客户对自己专业的执着在某种程度上转化为对施工工艺的期望。为了防止所使用的不锈钢的平淡无奇，选择了各种颜色和表面处理的不锈钢板，以便在外墙和延伸到室内时产生微妙的变化。对于水洗骨料混凝土，在黄埔区最初于80年代建成时被广泛使用，黄埔区是香港著名的大型中产阶级庄园，该精品店就位于这里。
The client’s dedication to his own specialty somehow translated into the expectation of the craftsmanship of the construction. In order to prevent a blandness of the stainless steel used, stainless steel panels of various colors and finishes have been chosen to give subtle changes on the facade and as they extend into the interior. For the washed aggregate concrete, it was widely used in Whampoa when it was originally built in the 80s, a large well-known middle-class estate in Hong Kong where the boutique is located.
你现在看到的裸露的混凝土是对骨料和水泥的组合进行了多次测试的结果。在这两个主要元素的基础上，店面有一块特色岩石，以及一些较小的岩石被放置在酒吧的桌子里。它们是对大自然的提醒，也是为了提醒顾客，咖啡豆的形成和它们的味道确实取决于它们的生长环境，是大自然的礼物。
The exposed concrete you see now was the result of many testings on the combinations of aggregates and cement. On top of the two main elements, there is a feature rock at the shop front as well as some smaller rocks being placed inside the bar table. They are a reminder of nature as well as to remind customers the formation of coffee beans and their resulting taste indeed depends on the environment that they were grown in and was a gift from nature.
沙龙的主人是一位经验丰富的美发师，曾经在当地的沙龙工作过，这些沙龙非常注重速度，而他却不喜欢。在这里，他想创造一个精品沙龙，强调整个体验的质量以及最后的结果。沙龙的区域也可以很容易地转变为一个酒吧的场景，音乐家们可以在晚上进行小型音乐会，同时也会提供酒水。无边镜的照明设计是为了在其他灯光关闭的情况下增强音乐之夜的气氛。
The owner of the salon is an experienced hairdresser and used to work in local salons which care a lot about speed which he dislikes. Here he wants to create a boutique salon that emphasizes the quality of the whole experience as well as the final outcome. The area of the salon can also be easily transformed into a pub scenario where musicians can carry out mini-concerts at night and alcohol will be served as well. The infinity mirror lighting was designed to enhance the atmosphere of music nights when the rest of the lights are turned off.
