Abstract

Until recently, café and restaurant design in modern Hong Kong has been characterized by closed facades that keep cooled air inside in the hot and humid subtropical climate, and interiors that allow limited visual contact with the street and with the kitchen. A new tendency of openness, however, has appeared in specialty coffee shops that have opened over the last decade. In this article we study this phenomenon, querying its significance in relation to the social dimensions of design trends and ideas about openness. The article is based on field studies of over 80 local specialty coffee shops in Hong Kong from 2020 to 2022 and includes analysis of facade and interior design from participant observation studies, photographs and interviews with store owners focusing on the factors that shape design intentions. Our analysis identifies characteristics of open coffee shop facade and interior design and discusses these in relation to openness as a conceptual paradigm in urban research and design studies. Our findings highlight the significance of international and local trends, social media visual cultures, and sustainability issues as considerations in open facade and interior design.
香港咖啡店的开放程度
直到最近,现代香港的咖啡馆和餐厅设计一直以封闭的外立面为特色,在炎热潮湿的亚热带气候下保持凉爽的空气,室内则允许与街道和厨房进行有限的视觉接触。然而,在过去十年中开业的特色咖啡店出现了一种新的开放趋势。在这篇文章中,我们研究了这一现象,质疑其在设计趋势和开放理念的社会维度方面的意义。本文基于2020年至2022年香港80多家当地特色咖啡店的实地研究,包括通过参与者观察研究、照片和对店主的采访对立面和室内设计进行分析,重点关注塑造设计意图的因素。我们的分析确定了开放式咖啡馆立面和室内设计的特征,并将其与开放性作为城市研究和设计研究的概念范式进行了讨论。我们的研究结果强调了国际和当地趋势、社交媒体视觉文化以及可持续性问题在开放式立面和室内设计中的重要性。
