香港的NOC咖啡，是一家概念咖啡店。他们的第二家店铺开在了新旧文化交融的港岛西区臻傲，由来自本土的建筑和室内设计工作室Studio Adjective完成。该店占地140平方米，特别设置了炒豆区和存豆区。设计团队希望通过概念化的室内设计，让客人体验一场完整的咖啡之旅。
Located within Bohemian House in the old-meets-new Western District, the project is the second boutique café designed by Studio Adjective, a Hong Kong architecture and interior design agency, for this coffee brand. With an area of 140 sq.m, the store features a bean roasting area and a bean storage. The design team wants to offer a complete coffee tasting experience through the conceptual interior design.
设计的整体概念着眼于通过空间的划分和流动性，来为顾客呈现一场完整的视觉体验。首先，室内以干净自然的灰、白和原木色为基调，这种简单质朴的色调正好突出了场地整体的空间感和区域分布。此外，设计师使用大型白色金属框的玻璃门，将炒豆区、用餐区和存豆区进行分隔。炒豆机放置于最靠近街面的位置，四周框以透明玻璃，使得咖啡师的专业水准得以完美呈现，不仅能吸引路人，也让坐在店内的客人，对咖啡由存豆、炒豆、包装到冲调的过程一目了然，在享用咖啡的同时，完成一种独特的体验。
The overall design focuses on presenting a complete visual experience through zoning and flow. First, the clean and natural palette will be dominated by grey, white and wood colour in order to highlight the sense of space and zoning through the simple and rustic hues. In addition, the bean roasting, dining and bean storage areas will be separated by large white metal framed glass doors. With the roasting machine placed near the window, the bean roasting area framed by glasses will showcase the professionalism of the baristas. The layout will not only attract the passersby, but also offer customers an overview of the coffee-making process, from storage, roasting, packaging to brewing, completing the unique experience.
长度7米的吧台，为咖啡师提供了一个展示他们精湛技艺的舞台。吧台台面选用的白色人造石，与咖啡机的颜色相称。背景墙上的白色铁网，呼应了歌赋街店吧台的不规则斜线，统一风格。餐牌选用了铁片和白色金属框，从厨房门口一直延伸到吧台的金属牌，连结了店内的不同区域。
The 7-meter-long coffee bar will allow baristas to demonstrate their skills. The white artificial stone countertop will also match the colour of the coffee machine. The white metallic mesh on the wall behind will subtly echo the asymmetrical lines at the bar of the Gough Street shop for a consistent style. The menu will be framed with iron and white metal, and a metal plate extending from the kitchen entrance to the coffee bar will link up different areas together.
