This is a completely cashless coffee stand. We started working with the restructure of the building programs, and the zoning. The entire building used to be an office building, but a part of the first floor (only 30m²) and an old parking area in the front, was transformed into the coffee stand, which functions as a gathering spot for the people. It is not only for the people working at the building, but also for the people living in the neighbourhood. You only need to get a cup of coffee in order to use this “public space”. A small coffee stand is creating commercial locality and publicness.
