由Kerry Kounnapis建筑事务所（KKAP）打造的这间墨尔本咖啡馆，巧妙融合了米兰 espresso 吧的私密氛围与墨尔本巷弄文化中特有的粗砺诗意。设计超越了简单的咖啡交易功能，成功构筑了一处承载日常互动、观察与片刻停顿的仪式性场所。

Conceived by Kerry Kounnapis Architecture Practice (KKAP), the design deftly merges the intimacy of a Milanese espresso counter with the grit and poetry of Melbourne’s laneway culture. The result is a place that transcends the mere exchange of coffee for currency, instead choreographing a daily ritual of interaction, observation, and pause.

面对墨尔本俱乐部厚重的石砌立面，KKAP 以雕塑般的氧化红钢与穿孔斑桉木构建出新的立面语言，在坚实与触感之间取得平衡。整体设计传递出一种未经稀释的温暖，如同向过往行人发出的视觉邀约。内凹的入口——更像是一处过渡领域而非传统门廊——将狭窄的巷弄转化为舞台，咖啡师与顾客在此成为对等的参与者，他们的一举一动透过模糊内外界限的连续服务窗口清晰可见。

Against the stoic masonry of the Melbourne Club, KKAP has composed a façade in sculptural oxide-red steel and perforated spotted gum timber, at once robust and tactile. It signals warmth without dilution, a kind of visual handshake to passersby. The recessed entry – more threshold than doorway – dilates the narrow laneway into a stage where baristas and patrons are equally performers, their movements visible through a seamless serving window that blurs the inside-outside boundary.

在这里，设计成为空间节奏的塑造者。立面邀请人们驻足却未阻碍流动，操作台同时承担工作台与社交锚点的双重角色。承袭 Pellegrini’s 餐厅与尼古拉斯大楼的精神脉络，Palace Coffee 透过现代主义的视角，折射出墨尔本独有的怀旧情结，摒弃简单的形式模仿，将空间氛围凝练为最基本的要素：木材、钢材与光线。

Here, design is a facilitator of tempo. The frontage invites lingering without blocking flow; the counter becomes both workbench and social anchor. Drawing on the lineage of Pellegrini’s and the Nicholas Building, Palace Coffee channels a distinctly Melbourne nostalgia through a modernist lens, rejecting pastiche in favour of atmosphere distilled to essentials: timber, steel, and light.

Kounnapis 将“连接”视为设计核心，这一理念在细节中得以彰显：浓缩咖啡始终佐以气泡水；背光玻璃纤维天花板洒下如家般柔和的光晕；服务点位巧妙隐藏，让材质的表现与人际交流成为主角。这是一座为微观时刻服务的建筑——会议前的短暂停顿，熟客间的匆匆问候，手掌抚过温润旧木表面的触感慰藉。

Kounnapis speaks of connection as central to the project, and it shows in the details. Sparkling water arrives with every espresso; the back-lit fibreglass ceiling lends a soft, almost domestic glow; service points are tucked from sight, allowing the material palette and human exchange to take precedence. It is architecture in service to micro-moments – the pause before a meeting, the quick hello between regulars, the tactile comfort of a well-worn timber surface under the hand.

同时主理菲茨罗伊区 Burnside 咖啡馆的 Charlotte Devereux，进一步强化了这种去除矫饰的待客之道。她构想中的 Palace Coffee，对话交流应与咖啡香同样自由流淌，设计与服务应奏响和谐的二重奏。尽管空间规模有限，但其意图将社区编织进城市日常律动的抱负，却显得格外广阔。

Charlotte Devereux, who also operates Fitzroy’s Burnside, reinforces this ethos of hospitality without pretension. Her vision for Palace Coffee is one where conversation flows as readily as caffeine, where design and service operate in a seamless duet. The footprint may be small, but the ambition – to weave community into the city’s daily rhythm – is expansive.
