2016年初，Voyager Espresso，一个新的专业咖啡馆，在曼哈顿金融区富尔顿街站的一个地铁厅里开业。建筑师Only If受业主Prudence Reid和业主/咖啡师Aaron Barnard的澳大利亚团队的委托，为其在这个不寻常的地下场所的初始零售点开发创新的建筑和室内设计。
In early 2016, Voyager Espresso, a new specialty coffee bar, opened in a subway concourse of the Fulton Street station, in Manhattan’s Financial District. The architect, Only If, was commissioned by the Australian team of Owner Prudence Reid and Owner/Barista Aaron Barnard to develop an innovative architectural and interior design for its initial retail location in this unusual underground site.
Voyager Espresso将艺术和科学的方法融入到咖啡中，是对金融区滞后的食物场景的一个受欢迎的补充。它的旋转菜单以美国最好的烘焙师提供的季节性、新鲜作物咖啡为特色。
Voyager Espresso, with its integration of an artistic and scientific approach to coffee, is a welcomed addition to the lagging food scene of the Financial District. Its rotating menu features seasonal, fresh crop coffees from the best roasters in the United States.
与当代咖啡文化的手工美学相比，这家咖啡店的设计和材料调色板参考了航海家咖啡背后的同名航天器和科学方法。Only If的负责人Adam Snow Frampton评论说。"从一开始，我们就知道我们想避免白色瓷砖、再生木材和暴露的爱迪生灯泡等陈腐的语言。
In contrast to the artisanal aesthetic of contemporary coffee culture, the coffee shop’s design and material palette refers to the namesake spacecraft and scientific approach behind Voyager Espresso. Adam Snow Frampton, Principal of Only If, commented: “From the beginning we knew we wanted to avoid the clichéd language of white tile, reclaimed wood, and exposed Edison bulbs.
我们开发的材料调色板既便宜又有未来感"。墙壁用定向刨花板（OSB）包覆，通过应用铝制搪瓷漆进行改造。工作台面由黑色大理石台面组成，与墙壁的纹理相呼应。其他地方则使用了穿孔铝、铜和黑色橡胶。
The material palette we developed is inexpensive yet futuristic.” The walls are clad in oriented strand board (OSB), which is transformed through the application of aluminum enamel paint. Work surfaces consist of black marble countertop, which plays off the texture of the walls. Elsewhere, perforated aluminum, copper, and black rubber are used.
这个小空间的设计是基于两个圆圈的组织：一个用于服务（咖啡师站），另一个用于座位（Grotto）。咖啡师站可以被理解为一个正面的体量，而石窟可以被理解为一个从周围墙壁挖掘出来的负面体量。
The design of the small space is based on the organization of two circles: one for service (the Barista Station) and another for seating (the Grotto). The Barista Station can be read as a positive volume, whereas the Grotto can be read as a negative volume excavated from the surrounding walls.
实际上，这种布局将仓库和后厨合并在空间的后部，并将Voyager Espresso沿其玻璃店面到地铁大厅的可见度最大化。该布局为座位创造了各种不同的社会环境，从个人到集体，从亲密到暴露。
Practically, the layout consolidates the storage and back of house at the rear of the space, and maximizes visibility of Voyager Espresso along its glass storefront to the subway concourse. The layout creates a variety of different social settings for seating, from individual to collective, intimate to exposed.

The design team worked closely with the client to integrate custom coffee equipment and refine the ergonomics of coffee making and service.
Voyager Espresso的所有者Aaron Barnard评论说。"圆形吧台的设计允许两个咖啡师同时工作，并通过两个销售点进行无缝连接。咖啡师从头到尾做每一笔交易。这有助于使服务更加人性化"。通过其独特的设计，Voyager Espresso正在重新定义纽约的咖啡文化。
Aaron Barnard, Owner of Voyager Espresso, commented: “The circular bar design allows for two baristas to work simultaneously and seamlessly through two points of sale. The barista does each transaction from start to finish. This helps to make the service more personable.” Through its unique design, Voyager Espresso is redefining coffee culture in New York.
