ESPACIO CAFETERO咖啡厅丨墨西哥奇瓦瓦丨MCH Estudio

这个项目位于一座20世纪初的历史建筑中，作为过去与现在之间的桥梁——是历史与现代的卓越融合。该建筑被认定为历史地标，修复过程中注重保留其原始建筑元素，挽救了那些讲述过去时代故事的细节，使其精髓得以延续。

Located in a heritage building from the early 20th century, this project serves as a bridge between past and present—an exceptional fusion of history and modernity. The restoration of the building, recognized as a historical landmark, was carried out with a focus on preserving its original architectural elements, rescuing details that tell stories of bygone eras and allowing its essence to remain alive.

位于城市的心脏地带，这个空间被改造为一个不仅仅是品味咖啡的地方，更是一个体验和生活咖啡的场所。它不仅是一个咖啡馆，更是对传统和当代文化的致敬，是一个汇聚点，在这里，新鲜烘焙咖啡豆的香气与建筑的悠久历史和温暖的设计氛围交织在一起。为了为城市中心注入新的生命，并挑战与这些空间日益疏远的趋势，设计工作室进行了改造，将过去重新诠释，同时不失其真实性，提供一个内省、连接和发现的氛围。

In the heart of the city, this space has been transformed into a place where coffee is not only tasted but also experienced and lived. More than just a café, it is a tribute to tradition and contemporary culture, a meeting point where the aroma of freshly roasted beans blends with the rich history of the building and the warmth of its design. Conceived to breathe new life into the urban center and challenge the growing disconnect with these spaces, the studio designed a renovation that reinterprets the past without losing its authenticity, offering an atmosphere of introspection, connection, and discovery.

旅程始于项目的灵魂：一台咖啡烘焙机，它不仅是生产中的关键元素，更是定义空间特色的手工工艺过程的象征。在其旁边，实验室作为一个炼金术的舞台，咖啡师和专家们在这里完善配方，探索提取咖啡精髓的新方式。最终，体验在品鉴区达到高潮，这是一个温暖且身临其境的环境，访客可以在这里品尝到这一精细过程的成果。这些空间无缝交织，让客人不仅能享受饮品，还能见证每颗咖啡豆的旅程——从烘焙到杯中。

The journey begins at the soul of the project: a coffee roaster that, beyond being a key element in production, stands as a symbol of the artisanal process that defines the character of the space. Adjacent to it, the experimentation lab serves as an alchemical stage where baristas and experts refine recipes and explore new ways to extract the essence of coffee. Finally, the experience culminates in the tasting area, a warm and immersive environment where visitors can savor the result of this meticulous process. These spaces intertwine seamlessly, allowing guests not only to enjoy a beverage but also to witness the journey each bean takes—from roasting to cup.

设计并没有强加于其历史，而是拥抱过去，仔细修复了如木质镶板和石刻框架等原始元素。这些细节与当代手工制作的家具和木材、金属、纺织品等材料相结合，创造出一场新旧交织的和谐对话。这一干预不仅仅是建筑的翻新，更是对其意义的重新定义，现代元素的融入并未丧失其独特性。

Rather than imposing itself on its history, the design embraces the past, carefully restoring original elements such as wooden paneling and stone-carved frames. These details, combined with handcrafted contemporary furniture and materials like wood, metal, and textiles, create a harmonious dialogue between old and new. This intervention is not just about renovating a building but about redefining its meaning, integrating modern elements without losing its identity.

除了其美学价值外，这一转型还是对城市核心复兴的承诺，鼓励社区重新占有这个空间，并促进更强烈的联系感。在城市优先考虑流动性而非宜居性的时代，这个项目展示了设计可以作为一种强有力的工具，将人们与周围环境重新连接。在这里，伴随着新鲜烘焙咖啡的香气和精心修复空间的温暖，访客找到了一个可以放慢时间、在每一口咖啡中品味历史的庇护所。

Beyond its aesthetic value, this transformation is a commitment to the revitalization of the urban core, encouraging the community to reclaim the space and fostering a stronger sense of connection. At a time when cities have prioritized mobility over livability, this project demonstrates that design can be a powerful tool to reconnect people with their surroundings. Here, among the aroma of freshly roasted coffee and the warmth of a thoughtfully restored space, visitors find a refuge where time slows down and history can be savored in every sip.
