Dismantlement of the outer wall created extra space under the eaves, a ‘passageway’ between the outside and the inside. The passageway soon became the friendly ‘entrance’ to the shop. The transparency of the building gave the place a comfortable, welcoming atmosphere and opened the hearts of others, allowing customers to enjoy their cup however they want. The older generation who have known the building for a long time will connect with the new generation through coffee. This way, we were able to protect the building by bringing it back to life as a place for new communities.
The ‘passageway’ connecting the shop and the outside created a new outdoor space in the neighborhood and became the ‘entrance’ where the brothers would enjoy chatting with people passing by (maybe even while cleaning the shop), naturally welcoming people into the shop. The space brings light to the neighborhood, entertains people coming and going and is changing the atmosphere of the city day by day.
