From Oakland, California, and then expanded into a well-known coffee chain in the United States, Blue Bottle Coffee is famous for its high-quality coffee brewing and blending technology, as well as selling some more remote and rare coffee varieties, which is very suitable for coffee lovers to explore here. At present, the brand has also set up two branches in Tokyo, Japan, bringing simple and elegant coffee living space into the Japanese coffee market.

Blue Bottle Coffee's two branches in Tokyo, Japan are designed by Schemata Architects. The first one, located in Tokyo's Qingcheng Baihe District, has been renovated as a storage building, with internal space including a coffee shop, an office, a barista training area and a coffee bakery.

Blue Bottle Coffee hopes to create a close and positive connection with consumers in its first branch in Japan, growing up with you and getting to know coffee together. Therefore, the concept of open space is introduced into Schemata Architects planning, using wood and steel to run through the whole structure, and glass doors and windows to create bright and penetrating visual effects. In addition to allowing customers to enjoy the "sensory experience" of vision, taste and smell, there can also be the kind of "heart experience" that shortens the distance between people.

Here, you can not only see how the coffee has changed from the beans to the fragrant spiritual supplies in your hands, but you can also see the work scene of the office on the second floor through the transparent design of the ceiling and the crisscross green plant crevices, satisfying the curiosity of coming here to explore.

The second Tokyo Blue Bottle Coffee is located on the fashionable Taisan Road in Qingshan District, about a three-minute walk from Tokyo Metro Moisan Road Station. Unlike the bustle and hustle and bustle a few blocks away, Blue Bottle Coffee Aoyama Cafe hides in a quiet building surrounded by trees, where you can see the swaying leaves through the large floor-to-ceiling windows, sipping coffee and enjoying the comfort of the afternoon.

On the whole white wall, only a blue glass bottle is left. The timely blank and timely simple philosophy of life is exactly the beauty that Blue Bottle Coffee wants to bring to everyone.

Here, we also use the light industrial style that Schemata Architects is good at, using square noodles to separate the busy kitchen area from the leisurely dining location, but still maintain an open interactive relationship between the clerk and the customer. Another district laid steady wooden floor to create different levels of space division, and timely dotted with green plants, to achieve a fresh and comfortable indoor atmosphere, just like staying in their own living room, it must be able to let everyone linger!
