Located at the corner of the city of Tainan,
near the neighborhood park of Tainan residential area,
there is a container coffee shop (ARA COFFEE CO)
full of industrial flavor and elements.
The coffee shop is designed by dingchi architects.
Gogoro electric vehicle is one of the most popular electric vehicles in Taiwan.
It can be seen everywhere in the streets of Taiwan, even in various TV and movie scenes.
However, the unique feature of this store is the locomotive speed,
and the owners of Vespa / gogoro can enjoy preferential consumption in this store
Although it looks small, it's only 60 square meters,
but its internal space can meet the partition function of the coffee shop.
There are office area, ordering bar and dining area inside.
People say that although the sparrow is small and dirty, it's exactly the same.
By using large area glass windows and plain white integral corrugated wave board,
it reveals a modern atmosphere. Customers sitting
inside can enjoy coffee as well as the street view of the city.
The container has become a place for elegant life, as well as a large
white Lego building block in the city, showing the quiet landscape inside.
In order to control the budget, the design team also
considers the integration of building and interior materials;
the design uses white sheet steel plate to concave and fold into a dining table board and a bar,
and the furniture floats in the limited interior like a piece of paper, reducing the pressure of space.
In addition, the triangle atrium surrounded by three containers also contains special significance.
The pure white container wall and gray white gravel constitute a semi closed and simple space.
The green trees planted in the courtyard seem to be the oasis of this vast land,
which makes people forget to put into a quiet place.
