Designing Coffee Shops And Caf S For Community

Designing Coffee Shops and Cafés for Community brings together research, theory, and practical applications for designing coffee shops and cafes as places to enhance community connections. As people search for meaning and connection in their lives, they often seek out places that root them in their community. Designers are responsible for creating these spaces, and to do so well, they need to understand the physical and social attributes that make such spaces successful. Addressing societal trends, environment and behavior theories, place attachment, branding, authenticity, location, layout, and ambiance, the book provides guidelines to help designers and operators create more welcoming third places—places that are not home, not work, but those where we can relax in the company of others. It includes eight case studies by authors from threecountries that ground the theories in real-life third places. Its practical design guidelines cover location, accessibility, seating, lighting, sound, and more. Written for students, academics, and designers, this book discusses the value of coffee shops and cafés and guides readers through the ways to create places of belonging that bring people together.

With the continuous economic development and faster pace of life, people are facing more and more life pressures. In the busy and bustle life, people need a place to release emotions and look for friendship. A coffee shop which blends Chinese and Western cultures will be the ideal place. A successful coffee shop design must have its own theme. On the basis of this theme, the space is well-arranged to meet functional and aesthetic requirements, thus providing pleasant experience for users. This book starts from "theme" and illustrates each case around "theme" to analyse the expression of different themes in coffee shops. It shows how the designers achieve their original design goals through extraction and application of conceptual elements and development of creative ideas.

The concept of space is often extended from the shop interior to the neighborhood—interweaving coffee, art, architecture, design, and historic preservation. The book showcases coffee shops located in historic buildings, modern architecture, an art museum, an arcade, a courtyard, a former loading dock and even a reclaimed cargo shipping container—but the common thread is an appreciation for great coffee in spaces that invite human interaction and create memories through good design.

The design of coffee shops is increasingly on the move. Where caf�s have traditionally been viewed as places principally to enjoy a coffee, they have evolved to show a broad range of multifunctional purposes and amenities: They can, for instance, exist as cozy lunch-time meeting spots before abruptly transforming into vibrant late-night bars after sundown. Caf�! Best of Coffee Shop Design shows the wide scope of different caf� concepts, including coffee bars as integral parts of cutting-edge multipurpose buildings, flagship stores and traditional shops with a contemporary twist. The 40 projects featured comprise an extensive variety of designs and styles, ranging from minimalist, strict and reduced, to opulent and extravagant.
