Appreciation towards BWAO for providing the following description:

COCHA，作为“咖啡”和“茶”的合成词，在西班牙语里意为“湖泊”，也是本案形式原型与空间组织方式的出发点。

COCHA, a coined word that combines coffee and cha(tea), has a Spanish etymological origin that means lake or lagoon, which serves as a starting point for both formal prototype and spatial organization.

平面引入五个圆形，被边界切成半圆或四分之一圆：一个成为吧台，一个成为卫生间及员工间，三个成为座位区。吧台作为空间主角将人们从门厅引入到房间最深区域。 三个座位区各具特点：外圆场景灵活松散排列，中圆呼应平面向心摆设，内圆召开会议正式布置。

Five rings are introduced into the space, cut by the existing plan boundary to form semi-circles or quarter-circles: one for bar area, one for storage and bathroom, and three for seating areas. Being the center piece of the space, the bar area channels people all the way from the entry foyer to the bathroom. The three seating areas are arranged to have different characteristics: one in a loosey-goosey fashion to be more sporadic, one in a centripetal figure to correspond to the plan, and one in a formal layout to host meetings.

被圆切掉形成的负形反转为正形，变为金属装置介入空间。立面上的曲线沿对角线布置保持形式连续。表面材料使用拉丝不锈钢板，结合灯光创造科技氛围。装置与立面相交划分为入口及落地窗，立面上方对外店招为穿孔金属板，对内为可开启消防窗，与周边商业立面协调的同时让室外景观最大化的融入室内空间。

The negative space cut out by the rings are made positive to form a metallic installation that dominates the space. The elevation curves are smoothed out diagonally to have a continuous configuration. Brushed stainless steel panels are applied to the surface to create a technological ambience. The installation connects to the storefront in a way that separates the entrance from window area. The upper facade faces the outside with perforated metal panels for signage fixtures, and opens to the inside with mechanical windows for ventilation. The facade maximizes the views out to the riverbank landscape while blending into the building facade as a whole.

软装设计尝试加强空间逻辑：外圆弧形沙发与立面弧线一起界定空间走势，中圆半圆沙发与平面半圆同心定义空间范围，内圆纱帘直接将空间封闭。绿植造型的选择也结合家具摆放的节奏，起到划分小区域与强化空间领域的作用。

The furnishing design strengthens the spatial logic. The curved sofa set at the entrance goes along with the facade curve to define the flow of space. The circular sofa set in the middle is centered on the plan circle to define the edge of space. The transparent curtain is pulled to close the inner circular space completely. The selection of plants works with the furniture plan, further defining seating areas with their shape and presence.

平面功能既各自独立，又合并形成统一整体，创造供人们交流与链接的空间。

As islands of programs that are independent from each other and converge to unify as a whole, COCHA serves as a metaphor for a space that makes people communicate and connect.
