IDIN ARCHITECTS: 建筑师选择将新开始和成长的概念作为重点，将树木置于设计的核心位置。在这里，一棵猴面包树被放置在内院中，建筑的山墙形式被拉开，以供其向天空生长。因此，看起来仿佛猴面包树的种子早在很久以前就被种下，并随着时间的推移从建筑中生长出来。

IDIN ARCHITECTS: The architect chooses to focus on the concept of new beginning and growth by including the trees into the heart of the design. Here, a bottle tree (baobab) has been placed in an inner court where the gable form of the architecture is pulled apart to allow for its growth towards the sky. Thus, making it appears as if the seed of the baobab has been planted long before and grew out through the architecture as time passes.

▽被树木撑开的咖啡馆

这家咖啡馆的所有者对形态独特的植物有着特别的兴趣。主要有两个设计要求：首先，设计一个有趣体验的“目的地”，能够吸引访客；其次，将房东的身份融入设计中，以彰显这一独特的合作。名字“Haru”在日语中意为“春天”，象征着“新的开始”和“成长”，而“Dot”则代表着“起点”。

Harudot is a stand-alone café in Chonburi, a famous beachside town in Thailand. This cafe is a result of a collaboration between Nana Coffee Roasters brand owner and the landlord who has a particular interest in plants with unique forms. The name “Haru” translates to “Spring” in Japanese, referring to “new beginning” and “growth” while “Dot” symbolizes a “starting point”. The two main requirements for this cafe are to, firstly, design a “destination” with an interesting experience that is able to attract visitors, and secondly, to include the landlord’s identity into the design in order to signify this unique collaboration.

▽为面包树而设计的建筑

咖啡馆的品牌形象深受日本文化的影响，因此，建筑师将其诠释为谦逊的简约风格，但注重细节。这一点通过外观得以体现，使用了三个简单的黑色山墙形式，营造出低调的外观。与室内空间自然温暖的松木墙形成对比。为建筑体量所选的山墙形式也是一种在该地区常见的简单建筑元素。当访客通过山墙进入咖啡馆时，空间逐渐弯曲变形，引领客人更深入地走进咖啡馆，此时空间变得更加生动且令人难忘。

The cafe brand’s identity is strongly inspired by Japanese culture, hence, the architect interprets this as humble simplicity but with attention to details. This is represented through the exterior, using three simple gable forms in black color for a subtle look that contrasts with the natural warm pine wood walls of the interior space. The gable form chosen for the mass is also a shared architectural element that is simple, and is typically found within the region. As visitors enter the cafe through the gable, the space morphs and bends with curves as it leads guests further into the cafe where the space becomes more dynamic and memorable.

这座建筑被分割成较小的部分，使其更具人性化尺度，从而划分出不同的区域，如酒吧、咖啡区、休息室、会议室和洗手间。每个部分的巨大山墙屋顶在某些地方被拉开，让树木从空隙中穿过直抵天空，形成半室外空间。

这些空隙还造就了有趣的弯曲形态，为建筑增添了动感和活力。这些空隙让雨水和阳光能够进入半室外庭院，尽管有封闭的墙壁，但仍与自然保持着联系。这些开口特征延伸至室内空间，在室内空间中，实际的空隙有助于室内光线的扩散，营造出温暖柔和的照明空间。在视觉和概念上与庭院中的实际开口相呼应，将两个空间连接成一个整体。

The building is separated into smaller masses to make it more human-scale, which established different zones such as the bar,coffee drinking zone, a lounge, a meeting room and the restrooms. The giant gable roof form of each mass is pulled apart at certain parts, allowing the tree to penetrate through a void to the sky creating a semi-outdoor space underneath. These voids also resulted in an interesting curved form which added movement and dynamic to the architecture. The voids allow for rainfalls and sunlight to enter into the semi-outdoor court, maintaining a connection with nature despite the enclosed walls. These opening features continue into the interior space where instead of actual voids, they are enclosed with Barrisol stretch ceilings that help diffuse the lighting inside,creating a warm softly lit space. The Barrisol ceiling also echoes with the actual open voids in the courtyard, visually and conceptually connecting both spaces into one entirety.

座位的布置设计成连续的带状，环绕着室内空间，形成连续性，而这些柜台的高度则各不相同，以适应不同的功能和用途。户外座位由树脂与咖啡渣、米和树叶混合制成，与咖啡主题相得益彰。细节方面的关注还体现在图形元素上，比如定制设计的字体和标识，其灵感源自圆形点和春季。

地面采用水磨石，由于材料的分隔是必要的，因此建筑师特意将地面分隔设计成圆形，并嵌入了引导顾客前往咖啡馆不同功能区的嵌入式引语和文字。另一个有趣的元素是水磨石地面上的花瓣图案，向外辐射，仿佛是从真实的树木上掉落下来。建筑师通过这种不同维度之间的互动形成了一个有趣的联系，为顾客带来了另一个隐藏的惊喜。

The seating arrangement is designed to be continuous like a ribbon, wrapping around the interior space to create continuity whereas the height of these counters differ to suit the different functions and uses. The outdoor seating is made from resin mixed in with coffee grounds, rice and leaves to tide in with the coffee theme.

The attention to details extends to the graphic elements as the custom-designed fonts and signage which has been inspired from circular dots and the spring season. The floor is terrazzo and the separation in the material is necessary, therefore the architect specifically designed the floor separations to be circular with insertions of embedded quotes and words that lead to different functions in the cafe. Another playful element includes the flower petals pattern in the terrazzo floor, radiating outward as if they have fallen from the actual trees. The architect formed a playful connection through this interplay between the different dimensions,resulting in another hidden gimmick for the customers to unveil.
