初遇这家咖啡店在一个广场的盒子里，黑黑的墙上蓝色的霓虹灯上面写着Coffee4U，小小的地方略显拥挤，透过那个窗口，却让人喝到了一杯特别美味的咖啡。咖啡特有的生命力，在陈旧的街区里向阳生长。

When I first encountered this coffee shop in a plaza box, there was a blue neon sign on the black wall that showed Coffee4U, and the tiny place was slightly crowded, but through the window, one could get a cup of exceptionally tasty coffee. Coffee has the same strength as a bond, and it still grows in the old neighborhood.

在接到Coffee4U旧房改造项目时，俨然已经从一个六平方的吧台跳脱出来。但是旧房房屋老化严重，我们需要考虑到对于旧房的修缮以及在地品牌新概念的呈现。结构功能最大化的、打造一个更加舒适空间的的同时，如何更好的融入到这个街区之中。

When I received the Coffee4U old house renovation project, it seemed like it had already broken out of a six-square-meter bar. However, the old house is seriously aging, and we need to consider the repair of the old house and the presentation of a new local brand concept. Meanwhile, we also need to take into account how to better integrate into the neighborhood while maximizing structural functionality and creating a more comfortable space.

将灵魂主体吧台立于正中，吧台是一个功能空间却更像是咖啡师的舞台，朋友们环绕而坐试听味三位一体的呈现。正好应对了品牌的回归最本质咖啡者的初心及经营理念。硕大的折叠门很有仪式感的被拉开像是序幕，从吧台延伸到院落，让落座的每一位顾客都能感受到咖啡的故事，相互关联且独立。

Place the soul, the main bar, standing in the center of the store. The bar is a functional space but more like a stage for baristas, surrounded by friends and listening to the presentation of the taste trinity. It just coped with the brand's return to the original intention and business philosophy of the most essential coffee makers. The huge folding door was opened in a very ceremonial manner, like a prelude, extending from the bar to the courtyard so that every customer seated could feel the energy of a coffee bond, interconnected and independent.

门店是一个在地品牌个性最好的呈现，沉着冷静金属的色调，自然流动的墙面肌理，像极了一杯黑咖啡的精神世界。局部的不锈钢小五金小节点则是在与咖啡师相处与碰撞后的成果，品牌蓝就在不经意间贯穿其中，融入到设计里面构成了一个专属于4U咖啡的空间，这也是小伙伴们做咖啡化繁为简执着。

The store is the best expression of the personality of a local brand. The calm, metallic color and naturally flowing wall texture are like the spiritual world of a cup of black coffee. Some of the small stainless steel hardware nodes are the result of getting along and colliding with the barista. The brand blue unwittingly penetrates through it and is incorporated into the design to form a space exclusive to 4U coffee. This is also the fact that the friends are simple and persistent in making coffee.

每个角落里的小景都是大家一起动手因地制宜的材质来创造的，是破旧的红砖、石材厂的废气石块、路边捡回来的绿植。是品牌顽强的生命力也是小伙伴们对咖啡追求的韧劲。

The small scenes in each corner are created together with materials tailored to local conditions, such as dilapidated red bricks, exhaust stones from stone factories, and green plants picked up from the roadside. It's the brand's tenacious vitality and the tenacity of its friends in their pursuit of coffee.
