Designer's Note
Nested in the heart of District 1 in Ho Chi Minh City, this store boasts a prime location in front of Notre-Dame Cathedral and next to Ho Chi Minh City, Saigon Central Post office.
While preserving the area’s rich heritage, this store is uniquely crafted by retaining traditional materials and exterior aesthetics from bygone eras. To blend these with a modern, contemporary aesthetic, we designed two blocks of glass extending from the interior to the exterior space. These glass structures delineate the two main functional areas: a dedicated roasting room and the kitchen. An inviting central pathway beckons customers to stroll inside and enjoy their cup of coffee.
The store exudes an overall industrial vibe, evident in its interior and architectural elements. Industrial materials are balanced by wood accents and plants, ensuring every customers recieve a warm welcome.
