追求将香味传播到日常生活中的GRANHAND，推出了KOMFORTABEL，这是一家紧紧围绕咖啡香味的专业咖啡店。

GRANHAND, which pursues fragrance being spread into everyday life, launched KOMFORTABEL, which is a specialty coffee shop that closely focuses on the scent of coffee.

现有的施工现场与新建的大楼一样，都是满满的建筑面积。内部和外部被墙体明显地分割开来，墙体与建筑边界线极其相邻，没有多余的空间。因此，我们拆除了部分外墙，以增加空间的立体效果。而且我们通过放弃使用约3㎡的室内空间来规划悬臂屋檐等外部空间。同时，我们通过用玻璃轻轻地分割，打破了室内和室外之间的严格界限。因此，由于高度较低，在现有的建筑场地上增加了不闷热但舒适的气氛。此外，通过拆除外墙，室内空间吸引了更多的自然光，因此我们可以尽量减少内部照明。

The existing construction site was in the condition as the newly built building with a full of Gross Floor Area. The interior and the exterior were clearly divided by the walls which were extremely adjacent to the architectural boundary line with no spare space. So, we demolished some parts of the outer wall to add a three-dimensional effect to the space. And we planned external spaces like cantilever eaves by giving up using about 3㎡ of the interior space. Also, we broke down the strict boundaries between the interior and exterior by lightly dividing them with glass. Consequently, with the low height, the not stuffy but cozy atmosphere was added to the existing construction site. In addition, by demolishing the outer wall, the interior space invites more natural light, hence we could minimize the internal lighting.

空间中使用的材料是在严格的标准下选择的，那就是 “自然友好型建筑材料，这些材料已经被经典地使用了很长时间。也就是说，选择的是自然友好型材料，如木材、石材、砖和金属，而不是人工或化学材料。在普通现代建筑中使用的人工材料在早期阶段容易维护，但随着时间的推移，它会留下使用的痕迹，这可以被视为 “劣化”。另一方面，由于材料的特性，KOMFORTABLE使用的材料不适合维护工作。然而，随着时间的推移，这些亲近自然的建筑材料显示出时间的痕迹，变得更加平静，更加迷人。因此，有人将这种材料表述为 “含时间的材料”。由于这个原因，这些材料需要的不是 “维护”，而是 “管理”。

Materials used in the space were selected under strict standards, and that is ‘Nature-Friendly building materials which have been used classically for a long time. That is to say, the chosen were nature-friendly materials such as wood, stone, brick, and metal, rather than artificial or chemical materials. The artificial materials used in ordinary modern building are easy to maintain in the early stages, but it leaves a trace of use as time goes by, which could be perceived as ‘Deterioration’. On the other side, the materials used in KOMFORTABLE are not suitable for maintenance work due to the properties of the materials. However, these nature-friendly building materials become calmer and more fascinating as time goes on, by displaying the trace of time. Hence, someone expresses this material as ‘time-containing materials’. For this reason, what these materials need is not ‘Maintenance’ but ‘Managing’.

我们用lawang胶合板完成了墙壁和天花板，用水泥砖完成了地板。在设计这个空间的核心—柜台时，我们从一堆烤过的咖啡豆的形象中得到了灵感。因此，我们决定胡桃木是表达咖啡豆形象的合适材料，因为胡桃木的端部纹理具有深棕色和柔软的质地。我们通过堆叠硬木块，将胡桃木的端部纹理安排在前面。然后，我们用手工打磨机打磨每个边缘，使每个木块可以稍微错位。家具和台面被规划为由桦木胶合板制成，其纹理清晰而柔和，而不是作为这个空间背景的拉旺胶合板。此外，我们使用粗糙的混凝土表面作为外墙材料。粗糙混凝土饰面的外墙的冷感与内部空间使用的材料的温暖感形成了对比。

We finished the wall and the ceiling with lawang plywood and finished the floor with cement brick. For designing the counter, which is the core of this space, we had been inspired by the image of a heap of roasted coffee beans. Hence, we decided that walnut wood is a suitable material to express the image of coffee beans since an end grain of walnut wood has deep brown color and soft texture. We arranged the end grain of the walnut wood to be seen in front, by stacking hardwood blocks. Then, we sanded each edge with the hand grinder to make each block could be slightly misaligned. The furniture and the countertop were planned as being made of birch plywood whose grain is clear and soft rather than the lawang plywood which is the background of this space. In addition, we used the rough concrete finish as the exterior wall material. The cold sense of the facade which was finished with rough concrete is contrasted with the warm sense of materials which was used in the internal space.
