北京衚衕里這間只有34㎡的民宿+咖啡館簡直棒極了！

Last Updated on January 26, 2022 by Hi設計

位於北京香餌衚衕，這間名叫 Big Small Coffee 和 B&B客房一共只有34平方米，包含兩個部分：一個19平方米的咖啡館和一個15平方米的客房；咖啡館和客房由一個小院連接起來，和一戶鄰居共享天井空間。咖啡館的主理人想要通過這個小空間把優質的咖啡帶給顧客。因此“Big Small Coffee”看似是一杯小小的咖啡，但是卻包含着咖啡廳老闆遠大的理想。

Nestled within Xiang’er Hutong in central Beijing, Big Small Coffee + B&B has a total area of 34 square meters. The project consists of two parts: a coffee bar (19 sqm) and a guest room (15 sqm) linked by a courtyard shared with an elderly neighbour. Owners of the coffee business wanted to bring serious artesian coffee to their customers in a small space, emphasising focus on just a good cup of coffee.
Hence the brand “Big Small Coffee” – being small in size but big on intention.

“Big Small Coffee”是一個新潮而又相當專業的品牌。AIO把設計的重點放在空間功能組織和場所文脈重塑上。儘管這是兩個狹小的空間，但是AIO仍然希望可以把這種限制轉化為優勢。咖啡廳在功能上被分成兩個部分，一邊屬於咖啡師，一邊屬於顧客，設計師通過材料的清晰變化傳達出空間的差異。

“We imagined Big Small Coffee to have a fresh and professional identity and we wanted to bring attentiveness to the design specific for its function and context. Making the most out of these two tiny spaces by turning constraints into design features.” The spatial function is primarily split into two. Baristas and customers each occupies a side of the bar. This spatial distinction is expressed visually through a crisp change in materiality.

咖啡館吧台上方吊架懸挂了一個2.4米長的定製燈管。這盞吸引眼球的吊燈懸挂於空間的中心，憑添了空間的厚重感。當客人第一步踏入咖啡廳的時候，這樣長形的線條也強化了空間的縱深感。同時，長吊燈也在前後兩個空間之間創造出一個微妙而輕柔的空間過渡。空間的亮度可以根據咖啡館的氛圍和需求自行調節。咖啡館的一邊是面溫軟舒適的軟木板牆，同時也起到吸音的效果。對於這樣一個與鄰居共用同一堵牆的逼仄的空間來說，吸音材料的運用顯得十分合適，鄰里之間能夠都擁有一份寧靜。這家店南側有一個高過人頭櫥櫃，櫥櫃分隔開前後區的空間。穿越櫥櫃后，是咖啡館的洗滌和盥洗區域，為了避免雜亂的堆積，特意為水槽定製了一個蓋板，與不鏽鋼檯面合為一體，即使經過此處使用盥洗室，也不尷尬。

Hung by four hand crafted leather straps is a bold, singular 2.4M customised stroke of light. Floating right in the centre of the spatial volume above the bar, the luminaire catches one’s eyes, adds weight to the space, while accentuating width and linearity when encountered front-on facing the bar. It also provides a softer, more delicate details to the threshold between shelf and bench top. Brightness is adjustable for the desired mood and/or function. The cork panels on the other hand is warm and inviting to the touch. It is also a sound absorber, making it an ideal choice of material in the context of a co-shared wall with the adjacent living space. On the southern side of the shop is another zoning threshold, marked by a camouflaged set of overhead storage cupboards. This threshold transits to the back of house washing area and a water closet. The washing area is meant to be accessed after hours, a full sized sink is in place but concealed during operating hours, allowing this right of way to remain a pleasant waiting area.

這個狹小咖啡吧空間明亮而靈活，貼滿白色瓷磚的牆面顯的時尚而新潮。設計師為咖啡師預留了足夠的運作空間。一塊強力磁鐵被切割成瓷磚的形狀嵌入牆內。磁鐵可以吸附物品，方便咖啡師便捷的取得各式工具和訂單。因為空間有限，咖啡館的附屬產品展示受到一定程度的限制。不過設計師設計了一個懸浮於咖啡廳吧台之上的展示架，酒架的高度經過深思熟慮，一點都不會影響到咖啡館的正常活動。採用透明的亞克力板在視覺上降低了展示架的重量，使其變的輕盈而透明，讓來咖啡館的客人的視線集中在展示的商品上。

The small white butcher tiles scale the space, and is a timeless, versatile, bright backdrop. With a limited width available for baristas to move along the bar, a row of strong magnets customised to the same size as the tiles are devised along the wall to provide easy, flexible access to tools, orders and any miscellaneous items.Product display and storage is limited due to the spatial constraints. A custom designed open shelf unit is hung from above the bar bench, efficiently occupies the relatively generous height of the space without interrupting circulation. The transparency provided by the use of acrylic sheet diminishes the weight of the shelving unit visually, allowing focus to be on the displayed items.

在咖啡廳的牆上設計師設計了一組精巧的摺疊板。因為空間狹小，所以摺疊板的設計顯得十分必要。放平摺疊板就變成了一個可以便捷的小餐桌；收起摺疊板，絲毫不會影響人的通行。靈活轉動的摺疊板既給空間使用增添了無限可能，同時也是顧客和咖啡廳之間有趣的互動。南向的屋頂上切開一個很大的切口，樹影和光線被引入室內，在室內的牆上畫上曼妙的陰翳。

Stainless steel foldaway plates are custom designed to provide flexibility and interaction for the patrons to intuitively transform its function just by a simple flipping action. At its resting state, the plate serves as a small table for patrons who just want a quick coffee or to stand around and mingle. When folded up, the plates give way to circulation and become a series of slender support for picture frames to be displayed. A large opening on the southern slope of the pitched roof is introduced to bring in natural lighting as well as allowing the shadows from the trees above to cast onto the interior surfaces throughout the day.

在朝北臨街的立面上，設計師設計了一個亞克力的遮雨棚，透明的材料即不會遮擋陽光，同時又能為坐在外面喝咖啡的客人遮風避雨。

With a north facing frontage, a crystal clear acrylic canopy provides protection from rain for customers sitting on the front patio, while still allowing all available natural light and views to the foliage above to be preserved.

除了“Big Small Coffee”，主人還有一個15平方米的小卧室，這間小卧室原先計劃用來做員工的卧室和倉儲。AIO建議把它改造成一間可以招待客人的小客房。這間房原先屬於房東和已經去上大學的兒子。8平方米的主空間塞了電視櫃、五斗櫃、書桌、和一張單人床；而兒子的卧房則佔據了一個僅僅有0.8米寬的狹窄空間里。AIO把這間卧室往院子中擴大了一點，創造出一個L型的入口，還為入口安裝上了一個雙開門。

Through the shared courtyard behind Big Small Coffee, the owner also obtained a 15sqm room originally planned for its staff accommodation and storage. “But why not turn it into a guest room instead?”, Office AIO suggested. The room was originally occupied by the landlord and her son until he went off to college. The 8sqm main room was used as a living space crammed with a TV unit / desk and a single bed / sofa and the long and narrow 800mm wide space was the son’s ‘bedroom’. Office AIO made a small extension into the courtyard and teared down the original façade to create an L-shaped entrance leading into the guest room. This entrance is then filled by a set of double-hinged doors that can be opened up to form a small internal courtyard.

卧室內的牆壁上被粉刷了一層稻草泥塗料，AIO還別具新意的使用了編織草席作為屋頂天花，還原了衚衕房子的特色。胡桃木色的地板和原有木樑完美契合。設計師創造出一個明亮而又溫馨的衚衕生活空間。簡單的室內的傢具只為滿足生活的基本需要：雙人床下內置雙層抽屜可以存放多餘的被褥和行李；一張軟木的桌子讓住客有了工作空間，AIO還精心挑選了Achille Castiglioni 的吊燈，同時為書桌和床頭照明。

The main living space was refreshed with a layer of straw clay over the internal walls, straw mats lining the original pitched ceiling, walnut timber flooring to match the existing tone of the timber rafters, and new timber joinery. The result is a bright yet warm space with reminiscence of a traditional hutong dwelling interior. The interior is furnished sparsely to fulfil the basic needs of a B&B: a built-in double bed with drawers to store extra beddings and luggage, a cantilevered cork desk for travellers to get some work done during their visits, and a classic Achille Castiglioni piece as desk and bedside lamp.

卧室還有一個狹長的小洗浴間，貼滿了白色的瓷磚，洗浴間的短邊端頭有一個抽水馬桶，長邊端頭有一個舒適的浴缸，可以看到窗外的流光，呼吸到新鮮的空氣。
