5 key facts about this project
The Coffee Factory project offers a thoughtful approach to its environment, drawing inspiration from the form of a volcano. Situated in a landscape with gentle hills, the factory acts as an interactive center for coffee production and enjoyment. It focuses on connecting visitors with the entire coffee journey, from cultivation to the final cup, while integrating naturally with the surrounding landscape.
Architectural Form
The building’s shape is based on geometric analysis that reflects volcanic features. Visitors follow a pathway that leads upward, arriving at a roof terrace that invites them to engage with the outdoors. This journey is enhanced by well-placed windows that frame views of three important hills, allowing guests to appreciate the natural scenery throughout their visit.
Interior Layout
Inside, the Coffee Factory is organized to encourage smooth movement between different spaces. After entering through the main entrance, guests access a wardrobe area before arriving at the Coffee Plants Garden. This educational space provides insights into coffee cultivation and the complexities involved in growing coffee.
Nearby, the Coffee Roastery and Selling Point create engaging sensory experiences, allowing visitors to enjoy the rich aromas produced during the roasting phase. The layout features a Coffee Preparation area and Bar Counter designed for efficiency and convenience in serving drinks.
Visitor Experience
The Coffee Shop Consumption Area boasts wide views of the landscape, enhancing the overall enjoyment of the coffee experience. A basement Exhibition Hall educates visitors about the coffee-making process, representing the core of the volcano design and supporting the facility's educational aspect.
The roof terrace bar provides additional space for visitors and includes amenities like toilets for their comfort. A strategically located storage room near the kitchen and bar streamlines operations, ensuring everything runs smoothly.
Material Considerations
The building incorporates a wooden façade and construction that aligns with the natural surroundings, emphasizing a sustainable design approach. The reinforced concrete foundation provides strength and stability, while insulation and finishing materials contribute to thermal efficiency.
Details such as the thoughtfully designed wooden elements and the carefully chosen views create a connection for visitors with coffee culture, making each experience memorable and engaging.
