DOT咖啡站是一家城市咖啡店，位于基辅最有活力的街区之一，专门售卖高品质咖啡饮品。室内空间是对现代城市生活的表达，将城市的活力和舒缓的节奏糅合在了一起。

DOT Coffee Station #1 is a city café that is based in one of the most active neighborhoods in Kyiv and specializes in high-quality coffee drinks to go. The interior of the venue is a manifestation of modern city life. It is eclectic with a soft rhythm and an urban vibe.

设计的重点是墙面上的马赛克艺术，以像素主题诠释了DOT这个名字。像素是所有图像的出发点。设计师特意使用奇特、真诚而通用的图像，没有在其中隐藏任何信息。DOT中的图案表达了纯粹的感情，一种普通的大都市居民每天都会体会数次的情绪，如以手掩面，但要更加强烈。经历了这种令人失落不安的感情后，人们需要用一杯咖啡犒劳自己，然后全速前进。

The design focus is the mosaic pixel art on the wall that incorporates the dot as a pixel theme. The pixel as the starting point of every image. We deliberately chose not to convey any hidden message in this picture, but create something weird, sincere and universal. The graphic in DOT is pure emotion. That kind of emotions that a regular metropolis inhabitant would get several times a day. The sentiment that throws them off their stride and unsettles them. Like a facepalm, but stronger. After it, you need to enjoy a coffee to recover and go forward at full speed.

室内的第二个重点是一条带有滚动文字的狭窄屏幕。它创造了一种多变的节奏，如同喝下两倍浓缩咖啡后血管中流动的肾上腺素。

The second accent in the interior is a narrow screen with scrolling text. It creates the dynamics and sets the rhythm. It is like the adrenaline moving through the veins of the people who just got a double espresso.

咖啡厅通过透明的立面成为了城市的一部分。设计师用玻璃滑门代替了常见的门，让城市的能量渗入室内。整个空间完全开放，体现了场所的热情好客。顾客和他所需要的咖啡因之间只有几步之遥。

The cafe comes as a part of the city by means of its transparent facade. DOT does not have a door in its general meaning. We have replaced it with glass sliding doors that let the energy of the city seep through. We have totally opened the façade to emphasize the hospitality of the venue. Only a few steps divide a client from a desirable dose of caffeine.

咖啡厅内的台阶和部分墙面覆盖带有像素艺术元素的白色马赛克。其他墙壁的砖块裸露在外，强调了这栋建于1900年的建筑的价值。空间高度为4.75米。设计希望创造一个明亮高耸的空间，因此一开始就放弃了设置夹层的想法。

The stairs and part of the wall surface inside the café are covered with white mosaic tiles with some pixel art elements. Other walls show the bare brick that emphasizes the value of the building erected in 1900. The height of the ceiling in DOT is 475 centimeters. We needed to get a high space filled with light, so we discarded the idea of building the mezzanine with seating places from the very beginning.

DOT咖啡站中设有两张小桌和一间凹室，可以容纳少量顾客就坐。此外，人们也可以坐在咖啡店旁沿建筑立面而设的公共长椅上。长椅和柜台使用的木材来自老旧的横梁，多年前曾是一些谷仓中的构件。这种材料经久耐用，与精致而冰冷的不锈钢制品形成对比，讲述着属于它们自己的故事。

DOT Coffee Station has two little tables and a niche with a bench where a few guests can sit. Another seating place is the massive bench along with the building façade next to the café. The timber on both benches as well as on the counter is old beams that used to be elements of some barn a long time ago. It is a time-proven material that tells its own story and works as a contrast with the perfect and cold elements made of stainless steel.

咖啡店位于基辅中央与Bessarabska广场相邻的道路上。这是一个充满活力的地点，各种各样的基辅生活在此交汇。太阳升起时，精力充沛的卖家们匆匆赶往基辅最大的有顶市场Bessarabka；与此同时，白领们则冲向周边闪亮的办公楼。白天，你不仅会看到大量闲逛的外国游客，也会有许多聪明的年轻人在街角处的现代美术馆外站成一队。夜晚，这里成为了各色人员见面和集会的场所。DOT的每位顾客都像是基辅拼图中的一个像素，只要有他们在，城市就充满了能量、情感和咖啡。

The café locates in central Kyiv on the street that borders Bessarabska Square. It is a vibrant point where different dimensions of Kyiv life are crossing. In the sun-up, juicy sellers hurrying up to the biggest Kyiv roofed market Bessarabka as well as white collars running toward the shining office building nearby. In the daytime, here you can see not only a lot of foreigners who are hanging out but also some intellectual youngsters, who were standing in line at the modern art museum around the corner. In the evening there is a meeting and a pre-party place for extravagantly varied people. Every guest of DOT, like a pixel in the bright Kyiv puzzle, is the person in the big city where every day is filled with energy, emotion, and coffee.

“DOT咖啡站的业主是经验丰富的创业者，已经在基辅创建了一条成功的咖啡店产业链。他们深谙这门生意的特点，将高品质的咖啡放在首位。我们都重视可持续设计的价值，这也是旧木梁、裸露砖墙和可回收纸杯在项目中出现的原因。”——YOD Group创始人Dmytro Bonesko

“The owners of DOT Coffee Station are experienced entrepreneurs who already have a successful chain of cafes in Kyiv. They are deeply aware of the business-specific and appreciate the high quality of coffee more than anything else. Our shared value is a sustainable approach. That is how old timber beams, bare brick walls, and recyclable paper cups appeared in the venue. ”Dmytro Bonesko, the cofounder of YOD Group said.
