The 1960s Japanese flair of Taiwan is reimagined with a modern vocabulary, kindling the owner's youthful memories within a thirty-year-old coffee shop. The design concept masterfully integrates nostalgic components and modern nuances to shape an inviting environment conducive to both social gathering and reminiscence. By assimilating elements reminiscent of the past and harnessing the visual rhythm of coffee ripple patterns through grilles, the space becomes emblematic of the café's essence. The thoughtful placement of grilles not only contributes to a distinctive aesthetic but also serves a functional purpose. Gaps between the grilles direct conversational sounds towards a ceiling fitted with sound-absorbing sponge, effectively neutralizing any echo issues. Moreover, the choice of grille material and its penetrative properties work harmoniously to maintain optimal indoor humidity and temperature levels.

Preserving the original beams and adopting the 60s color scheme, the passage of time is embodied in Morandi grey, pairing with dark walnut wood grain and wave-patterned glass screens, weaving an intriguing timeline of textures. Light wells introduce natural light, significantly reducing energy consumption, while the ripple-patterned glass screens temper the high temperatures from direct sunlight. The integration of floral walls and plant design imbues the interior with vitality and showcases the owner's passion for floristry. The swing design enhances spatial intrigue and becomes a highlight drawing customer attention. To account for fire safety in the older building, all grilles are made of metal with wooden veneer and fire-resistant boards are paired with glass screens.

As light and shadows unfold, each material's texture imparts a rhythm to the space. In the execution of every detail, the owner's nostalgic sentiments are brought to life through a modern vernacular.
