Perks是一个新成立的咖啡品牌，位于首尔三星洞的一个综合体中。为了迎合该地区高比例的上班族，Perks的设计重点是外卖咖啡。首先，我们决定充分利用该空间现有结构的高天花板。一旦顾客进入咖啡馆，他们可以感受到一种令人惊讶的开放感，这是外面无法感受到的。3.6米宽的内墙用垂直纹理的饰面进行装饰，使空间的垂直度成倍增加。
Perks, a newly established coffee brand, is located in a complex in Samsung-dong, Seoul. To cater to the area’s high proportion of office workers, Perks was designed with a focus on takeout coffee. First, we decided to make the most of the high ceilings of the space’s existing structure. Once customers enter the café, they can feel a surprising sense of openness that cannot be felt outside. The 3.6m wide interior wall is finished with a vertical grain veneer that multiplies the space’s verticality.
咖啡师和顾客面对面，中间是主吧台，通过将坐着的顾客设置在站着的咖啡师的视线高度，我们诱发了双方之间更亲密的情感联系。此外，通过积极利用楼层高度的间隔，我们将两个区域有机地划分开来。这个空间的两侧都有一个入口，从正面进入的顾客可以通过一个狭窄的走廊从主厅到出口进入综合体的走廊。
The barista and customers face one another with the main bar between them, and by setting the seated customers at the eye level of the standing barista, we induced a more intimate emotional bonding between the two parties. Moreover, by actively utilizing the floor height interval, we organically bisected the two areas. This space has an entrance on either side, and customers that enter through the front façade are able to move from the main hall to the exit into the complex’s corridor through a narrow hallway.
墙壁的颜色与咖啡豆的色调相似，贴面的纹理暗示着咖啡师和老板对咖啡的传统。我们希望Perks能成为一个能让人短暂逃离城市生活的喧嚣的空间，同时唤起美丽的咖啡香味。
The walls are colored with a hue similar to coffee beans and the texture of the veneers implies the barista and owner’s traditionality towards coffee. We hoped that Perks would become a space where one can briefly escape the hustle and bustle of city life while evoking the beautiful scent of coffee.
