新港咖啡馆是对埃文斯顿市中心的一个现有商业空间的内部建设。设计过程始于建筑师和业主在安德森维尔的一家小咖啡馆里的一次闲谈。讨论的部分内容涉及到制作优质咖啡所需的元素。这激发了实验室环境中所需要的精确性的概念，这有助于咖啡吧的概念化–空间的焦点。实验室的概念也推动了设备的组织和白蜡木灯架，它突出和照亮了在咖啡吧进行的工作。纯白色的Slayer浓缩咖啡机对称地放置在咖啡吧台上，加强了咖啡实验室的概念。
The Newport Coffee House is an interior build-out of an existing commercial space in the heart of downtown Evanston. The design process began with a casual conversation between the architect and the owner in a small café in Andersonville. Part of the discussion covered the elements required with making exceptional coffee. This inspired the notion of precision required in the laboratory setting which helped conceptualize the coffee bar- the focal point of the space. The lab concept also drove the organization of the equipment and the ash wood light rig which highlights and illuminates the work performed at the coffee bar. Pristine white Slayer espresso machines positioned symmetrically on the coffee bar reinforce the notion of a laboratory for coffee.
其次，设计团队希望强调业主的斯堪的纳维亚传统，以抵消实验室概念所固有的无菌性。这是通过参考斯堪的纳维亚的设计先例来实现的，主要是阿尔瓦-阿尔托的触觉性质和表面处理。在空间的零售和咖啡馆部分，引入了油漆木质垂直元素。彩绘木质垂直元素是通过紧密间隔的全长白杨木楼梯围栏完成的。
通过重新利用前租户留下的大部分布局，建筑成本得到了控制，这是一家专门经营啤酒和烤奶酪三明治的餐厅。对现有厨房的保留使新港咖啡馆能够将其服务扩展到咖啡之外，并提供专门的瑞典美食服务。
Secondly, the design team wanted to emphasize the Scandinavian heritage of the owners to counterbalance the sterility inherent with the laboratory concept. This was accomplished by referencing Scandinavian design precedent, primarily the tactile nature and treatment of surfaces by Alvar Alto. A painted wood vertical element was introduced to the space at the retail and café potion of the space. The painted wood vertical element was accomplished using tightly spaced full-length Poplar stair nosings.
Construction costs were kept in check by repurposing much of the layout left by the previous tenant, a restaurant specializing in beer and grilled cheese sandwiches. The preservation of the existing kitchen allowed Newport Coffee House to expand their service beyond coffee and provide food service specializing in Swedish cuisine.
作为一个内部建设项目，新港咖啡馆通过在拆除过程中尽量减少注入废物流的碎片数量来解决可持续性问题。我们努力尽可能多地重新利用以前的建筑。原有的大部分平面图保持不变，只有六英尺长的内墙被移动。
As an interior build-out project, sustainability was addressed with the Newport Coffee House by minimizing the amount of debris injected into the waste stream during the demolition process. Efforts were made to repurpose as much of the previous build-out as possible. Much of the original floorplan remained intact, only six lineal feet of interior wall was moved.
原来的吊顶声学天花板被拆除，但新的天花板系统被故意排除在范围之外，允许地板系统和建筑基础设施暴露在上面。天花板被涂成白色，并作为14个间接LED照明灯具的反射器，为整个咖啡馆的座位区提供普通照明。
The original suspended acoustical ceiling was removed but a new ceiling system was deliberately left out of the scope allowing the exposure of the floor system and building infrastructure above. The ceiling was painted white and used as a reflector for fourteen indirect LED lighting fixtures which provide general lighting for the entire café seating area.
