这家受欢迎的反文化咖啡公司将其技术、品尝和专业教育项目带到了洛杉矶银湖的时髦地区。由于计划在西雅图、达拉斯和迈阿密开设下一站,这家位于北卡罗来纳州的烘焙公司正在提供行业支持和公众获取的咖啡酿造课程。

由凯瑟琳约翰逊和丽贝卡鲁道夫,设计背后的二重奏,婊子,培训中心是一个独特的工作和娱乐空间。他们解释说:“我们从20世纪40年代流线型装饰艺术建筑和艺术街区汲取了很多灵感-从一种充满活力的外部色彩,到反映出以加州为中心的室内/室外情感的室内装饰。”

以两个相对相等的轴的加法排列,内部空间在多个方向被激活,并允许最大限度的灵活性和与室外空间的连接。约翰逊继续说:“在”齐古拉“(Ziggurat)周围为浓缩咖啡和倒装咖啡设立了多个站-这是一个中央座位单元,充当隔间、上课时的座位和一个随意、灵活的工作空间。

“柜台文化培训中心为他们经营的城市提供了许多服务。首先也是最重要的是,我们可以在这里为我们的批发合作伙伴提供专门提供咖啡教育的课程,“柜台文化的国家批发经理兼培训中心发展主管杰西·卡恩(JesseKahn)表示。“这些空间是由办公室组成的UniQuest(原文如此),让我们的地区工作人员和合作伙伴能够接触到他们需要学习和参与的任何东西。”

‘We took a lot of inspiration from the 1940s streamlined art deco building and from the artistic neighbourhood – from a vibrant exterior colour to [an] interior finish that reflects a California-centric indoor/outdoor sensibility,’ the duo explains. Photography: Liz Barclay

Organised in a plus formation with two relatively equal axes, the interior space is activated in multiple directions and allows for maximum flexibility and connection to the outdoor space. Photography: Laure Joliet

Johnson continues, ‘Multiple stations have been set up for espresso and pour-over brewing around the “ziggurat” – a central seating element which acts as room divider, seating for classes when in session and a casual, flexible work space’. Photography: Laure Joliet

Says Jesse Kahn, Counter Culture’s national wholesale manager and head of training centre development, ‘The spaces are the uniquest [sic] of offices, allowing our regional staff and our partners access to anything and everything they need to learn and engage about coffee’.
