Interior environment Elements
People’s safety, health and comfort
are closely related to the environment,
which, to a great extent, affects their work
efficiency.
Using physiological standards to ex-
amine the work place, the environment
can be categorized into four levels: unbear-
able, uncomfortable, comfortable and most
comfortable. Sight and hearing experience
also should be considered in environment
design (which will be further discussed in
the following issues ).
① Privacy As a great social space, a
coffee shop also needs to protect custom-
ers’ privacy, which brings a big challenge
and dilemma to the designer. While de-
signers sometimes fail to perceive certain
subconscious needs, some coffee shops, by
their nature, fulfill these needs that design-
ers never anticipated.
② Customers Distribution Pattern
in a Coffee Shop There is a certain hu-
man interaction and distribution pattern
for any given environment, which means
people choose to locate themselves based
on the circumstances and incline to always
behave the same way. The relationship be-
tween the pattern in a given environment
and their behavior characteristics can be
illustrated in the following circumstances:
A big shared table for about 8 people
High tables beside windows with seats
facing the windows
Leisure sofa area at the center if possible
(to set off the atmosphere )
In the case of a two floor building, make
an open loft space with some stairs designed
to be seating, allowing customers to interact.
③ Space Orientation Coffee Shop
space needs to be as clear and simple as
possible to reduce any complexity.
