Coffee shop design appreciation: Hangzhou cabbage cafe

Cabbage Cafe is located in Binjiang, Hangzhou, designed by YAMO Design. Modern cities are full of buildings and designs that are over-efficient and lack humanistic care. As a reflection on the urban habitat, Cabbage Cafe provides an indoor landscape experience, functional division of space, and makes people forget the fast pace and complexity of urban life here.

The coffee shop is located on the second floor of the building, and the floor height is relatively low, so multiple red tree lights are used to run through the entire space, reflecting the theme through staggered arrangement and repetition, while meeting the lighting needs in function. With tree lights, small houses are introduced to create outdoor experiences, morphing into building blocks for storefronts, entrances, bars, showcases, bathrooms and seating. Designers use functional integration of small houses to arrange and divide the entire indoor environment, with tree lights, creating a natural architectural community space, so that customers like sitting under the roadside trees to drink and chat.
