Located at a historical gateway, Blue Bottle Coffee Takanawa Café embodies the idea of passage—of entering new realms. Symbolic thresholds guide guests through a quiet, transformative experience, elevating daily rituals. Repurposed century-old stones root the space in memory, while flowing forms, layered seating, and integration with the office entry create a timeless, inclusive environment of continuity, welcome, and exchange. A curving bench marks the threshold, welcoming diverse users. The design honors the site’s past while offering a vision for thoughtful, sustainable urban life.
