The Blue Bottle Coffee in Shanghai's West Bund exemplifies a successful integration of historic industrial elements into contemporary architecture. This site, once home to a cement factory, has transformed into a vibrant riverside destination post-renewal. Atelier Tao+c's design incorporates two wooden 'canvases' supported by slanted columns, offering warmth and openness while cleverly housing necessary mechanical facilities. This architectural approach not only preserves the site's legacy but also invites interaction with the surrounding nature and urban environment, embodying a new community-centric ethos.
The design of Blue Bottle Coffee integrates the industrial past of the West Bund with a contemporary urban context, fostering a vibrant community space.
The project features two distinctive 'canvases' supported by slanted timber columns, creating a warm, inviting atmosphere while revealing views of the Huangpu River.
