Ashbab Coffee is a renovation project that redefines an unused residential property into a coffee shop, utilizing the spacious yard as an outdoor area. In the design process, we retained the structure of the main building to optimize the owner’s limited budget. The communal garden area was designed by preserving several existing trees, creating a natural and lush
green space.
green space.
Despite being located in a narrow alley and having a constrained budget, we aimed to maximize the potential of the site to create a design aligned with the vision of a youth-friendly and productive coffee shop. The neglected green open space was transformed into a sought-after commercial garden, especially in the post-pandemic era, offering a comfortable atmosphere that harmonizes with nature.
The building is designed to adapt to the original form of the existing structure, with a simple spatial layout and the use of white and raw material colors, aiming to allow the building to blend seamlessly as a hardscape within its surroundings.
This design not only preserves the existing natural elements but also utilizes the expansive outdoor space to create an enjoyable experience for visitors. With an innovative and sustainable approach, Ashbab Coffee exemplifies how an abandoned space can be revitalized into a place of high commercial and aesthetic value.
