“Lost”— Shanghai Metal Hands Coffee / DAGA Architects
Interstellar passengers have travelled the vastness of space and the infinity of time in search of a new home for humanity to escape from a devastated Earth. Finally, awakened from hibernation by an alarm......
Climbing out of the fallen space capsule, the world was uncannily familiar, with Earth-like plants and oxygen to breathe. Everything was so beautiful, but there was a vague sense of something different.
Cutting through the trees, instead of the familiar wood fibres, is a smooth, mirror-like metallic substance. The trees float in the air, eerie cross-sections reflecting this wonderful but strange world.

最终发现了这样一个沮丧的现实：这里没有人类，也没有大自然，这不是现实的世界，一切都是虚幻。
Eventually, the frustrating reality is discovered: there are no humans here, and no nature either, this is not a real world, everything is unreal.
The coffee worktop is an evolution of a scrap capsule. After being polished, it seems to have been made new again. The lights from the hatch cover brighten up the entire coffee-making area and add a touch of mystery. Surrounding is the vegetation that grows naturally on the ruins.

舱体中间的梁柱作为支撑整个结构，光线通过两个窗口洒进来。
A beam in the middle of the capsule acts as a support for the entire structure and light pours in through two windows.
Visitors can sit inside and outside the capsule and look out at the view, as if they were flying a spaceship through space. The immersive space café journey enhances the ambience to the max. The camping element also enhances the immersive dining experience. The metallic wooden boxes and low seating bring the user one step closer to the surface, as if sitting on the surface of Mars with a glittering galaxy in full view.
The long table "suspended" in mid-air is derived from a cut tree trunk, and its mirrored cross-section perfectly reflects the world of tall buildings outside the window. Raising the coffee cup, the reflection of the world outside can be seen from the table top, as if it were a million years away.
It is a journey through time, where all one has to do is sip coffee, empty oneself and enjoy a moment of peace in the universe. The design incorporates an exploration and consideration of time, taking people away from the worries of life and voyaging in their thoughts.

过程分析图
▼原始建筑墙体组成的空间十分消极 The space made up of the original walls is very negative
▼移除墙体后，环绕柱子设置操作台,与主入口和大堂均形成良好的关系 After removing the walls, the worktop has been set around the beam, forming a good relationship between both the main entrance and the lobby
▼设置球形舱体，以便于设置储物空间和隐藏设备 Setting up spherical cabin to allow for storage space and concealment of equipment
▼施工完成之后，由于业主希望顾客可以进入舱体内部进行体验，所以另外设置了一个操作台 After completing the construction, an additional worktop has been set up since the client wanted to provide a cabin-experience for customers
