项目 –  Spicy Architects设计的 "LIGHT UP COFFEE 三鷹店"将一座旧车间改造成了一家充满魅力的咖啡馆兼烘焙坊。这座位于东京三鷹市的项目，将二层建筑的首层改造为开放式的烘焙空间，与咖啡馆无缝融合。项目的亮点在于将老板购入的一台1960年代德国制造的Probat UG22 咖啡烘焙机完美融入空间。建筑师听说这台机器曾启发老板对咖啡的热爱后，便萌生将其故事完美诠释于设计之意。设计师拆除了烘焙区与咖啡区的隔墙，让顾客能亲眼见证咖啡豆由生豆到上桌的全过程。原有的街边卷闸门在改造后可完全打开，将内外空间合而为一，让路人与咖啡馆保持亲密无间的联系。这种"街头客厅"的设计理念，让人们在喝咖啡的同时，仿佛置身于户外，与骑车经过的父子或遛狗的邻居无所隔阂。空间选用的是结节分明的实木红雪松，给人一种纯手工的质朴感，与这家手工烘焙咖啡馆的理念暗合，每一处木件接缝都是现场手工雕刻而成，映射出对咖啡烘焙工艺的赤子匠心。

Project - LIGHT UP COFFEE Mitaka by Spicy Architects is a captivating renovation that transforms a former auto repair shop into a vibrant cafe and roastery. The Tokyobased architects have adeptly repurposed the two-story building, dedicating the ground floor to an open roasting space seamlessly merged with the cafe area. A key highlight is the integration of a vintage 1960s Probat UG22 roasting machine, which sparked the idea for the project when acquired by the cafe's owner.

Spicy Architects embraced the machine's romantic backstory, designing the interior to proudly showcase the roasting process. By omitting partitions between the roasting zone and cafe, visitors can witness the journey from green bean to freshly roasted coffee. The building's existing street-facing shutters have been ingeniously utilized, opening fully to dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior. This "street lounge" concept creates a liberated atmosphere where passersby on bicycles or walking dogs feel intimately connected to the cafe's vibrant setting.

Material choices further enhance the artisanal ambiance, with solid cedar wood featuring pronounced knots evoking a handcrafted sensibility. Carefully assembled on-site, the detailing echoes the meticulous roasting process celebrated within this unique cafe experience.
