SkB建筑事务所为意大利浓咖啡机械制造厂La Marzocco设计合并了咖啡馆和陈列室。该店位于华盛顿的西雅图，工作室参观访问了该公司在佛罗伦萨的佛罗伦萨工厂，并从中寻找视觉灵感。在他们的研究中可以发现老式的浓咖啡机和传统酒吧的一系列图纸，领导了整个项目的创作方向。

SkB Architects have merged cafe and showroom for Italian-based espresso machine manufacturer La Marzocco.The store which is located in Seattle, Washington, draws upon the company’s Florentine factory in Florence, which the studio visited in search for visual references. Vintage expresso machines and a series of drawings of traditional bars were found within their research which led the creative direction of the overall project.

该项目在展厅的中心矗立着一座200平方英尺的意大利浓咖啡吧，采用U型设计，鼓励咖啡师和客户之间进行360度的互动。咖啡吧还包括一英尺的轨道——献给那些发现意大利咖啡的人，在那里享受每天喝咖啡的传统，一直持续到今天。这个区域由悬挂在上的多色调玻璃板组成，它们直接参考了佛罗伦萨老工厂的漂亮窗户。除了有助于定义空间和创造亲密感，这一特色还隐藏着安全门的轨道，它们能够在打烊时封闭空间。

At the center of the showroom stands a 200-square-foot espresso bar which uses a U-shaped form, encouraging 360 degrees of interaction between barista and customer. The bar also includes a foot rail – a homage to those found in Italian cafés where the tradition of enjoying one’s daily coffee standing up persists today.This area is framed by multi-toned glass panels that hang above, which make a direct reference to the beautifully-aged windows discovered at the old factory in Florence.In addition to helping to define the store and create a sense of intimacy, this feature masks the track for the security curtain used to enclose the space during off-hours.

酒吧后面是意大利浓咖啡实验室，它是一个专门展示La Marzocco之家的空间，服务于该公司的家用意大利浓咖啡机器及配件的陈列。实验室提供游客与咖啡师直接对话的机会，获得动手操作制造商配件的经验，参与国内咖啡师的课程以及向员工了解相关知识从而选择正确的机器。

Behind the bar is the espresso lab, a space dedicated to showcasing La Marzocco home, the company’s residential line of espresso machines and accessories. The lab grants visitors with the opportunity to speak directly with baristas, gain hands-on experience with the manufacturer’s accessories, participate in home barista classes, as well as speak with staff about selecting the right machine.

Kyle Gaffney是创始合伙人，SkB 建筑事务所说他们“与该团队合作设计创建一个独特的零售环境，为客人提供一个通过咖啡而聚在一起和交流的地方。但也要创造一种身临其境的体验，为客户提供关于La Marzocco的丰富历史、工匠手艺、高品质的教育，以及他们的机器在咖啡产业中的意义。”

Kyle Gaffney, founding partner,SkB Architects states that they‘worked with the team to create and design a unique retail environment that provides a place for customers to gather and connect through coffee. But also to create an immersive experience that provides an education for customers about La Marzocco’s rich history, artisan craft, high quality and the significance of their machines within the coffee industry.’
