该项目位于台南市住宅区公园旁的一个十字路口的角落里。该项目被设定为当地社区的一个咖啡馆。除了堂食服务外,该咖啡馆还在其外部空间周围提供了独特的滑板车驾车服务,以适应台湾庞大的滑板车通勤消费者,使他们无需停车就可以直接点餐和外卖。

The project is located in a corner of an intersection next to a park of the residential area in Tainan City. The program is set to be a café for the local community. Aside from the dine-in service, this café also provides a unique scooter drive-through service around its exterior space to accommodate the large scooter-commuting consumers in Taiwan, so that they can directly order and take out without parking.

项目的构成由三个二十英尺长的集装箱组成,形成一个三角形的环形,将所有项目连接在一起,包括办公室、柜台酒吧和用餐区。设计团队不仅保留了工业集装箱的原始质地和材料,还通过大窗户、扩大的网格和半透明的聚碳酸酯板材料建立了建筑干预与城市环境之间的关系和界面。然后,这些集装箱就像激起优雅生活方式的盒子一样,在城市中代表着巨大的白色乐高积木的宁静。

The composition of the project is formed by three twenty-foot-long containers that create a triangular loop, which connects all the programs together, including an office, a counter bar, and a dining area. The design team not only retained the original texture and materiality of the industrial containers, but also established the relationship and interface between the architectural intervention and urban environment with large windows, expanded meshes, and semi-translucent polycarbonate board material. The containers then resemble as boxes that provoke elegant lifestyle, and represent tranquility in the city as giant white lego blocks.

为了控制预算,设计团队在内部和外部都考虑了材料性。例如,白色的钢板被折叠成一个连续的酒吧桌,以减少集装箱内的压迫感,使家具在有限的空间内像一张漂浮的纸。此外,咖啡馆的周边和车行道都是由碎石材料重新建立的。这些碎石被堆积起来,并被塑造成弯曲和起伏的图案,作为景观概念,扩散并融合到三角形的庭院中。参观这个空间的人可以在种植了一棵树的地方放松和享受风景。同时,由集装箱构成的三角形蓝天让游客暂时逃离了城市的喧嚣与骚动。

In order to control the budget, the design team considered both the interior and exteriorholistically with materiality. For example, the white steel sheet was folded as a continuousbar table to reduce the sense of oppression inside the container, so that the furniture is likea floating paper within the limited space. Furthermore, the perimeter of the café and drive-through path had been re-established by gravel material. These gravels had been heaped and shaped into curved and undulated pattern as the landscape concept that spreads and merges into the triangular courtyard. People who visit this space get to relax and enjoy the scenery where a tree is planted. Meanwhile, the triangular blue sky framed by the containers allows the visitors to temporarily escape from the city`s hustle and bustle.
