5 key facts about this project
The design centers around a modular framework made for efficient coffee preparation and service. Located in a lively environment, it combines functionality with a structured layout that enhances the experiences of both baristas and customers. The overall concept focuses on creating effective workflows, allowing easy access to the essential tools and equipment needed for producing high-quality beverages.
Structural Elements
Rectangular tubes form the main support for the design. These tubes measure 2" x 4" x 2.22mm and 2" x 3" x 2.22mm, bringing the necessary strength to the structure. A low potable water tube, 4" in diameter, is incorporated to improve functionality, ensuring that water access is convenient throughout various work areas.
Functional Layout
Fixed panel rails, each 10cm thick, serve as strong surfaces to mount essential coffee equipment. Key pieces include a professional coffee machine from Rancilio, strategically placed coffee dispensers, and a sink. The dispensers measure 15cm x 70cm, while the sink measures 40cm x 40cm. This size allows for practical use during busy service periods, ensuring that everything needed is within reach.
Operational Considerations
The architectural plan is laid out at a scale of 1/25, illustrating a careful arrangement of elements. A water tank with a capacity of 270L is part of the setup, addressing the demands of coffee preparation. Gray water tanks, each with a capacity of 35L, highlight resource management and sustainability in design, making efficient use of water during operations.
Design Detailing
The workspace includes an MDF waterproof module coated with automotive paint, making it durable against the demands of a busy environment. Smooth galvanized sheets (#28) are used for the front elevation, contributing to the design’s overall appearance and structural strength. An access door at the work area level makes it easier to maintain equipment and enhances the layout, supporting a well-organized environment for quality coffee service.
