•8bar Espresso• 8bar Espresso reinterprets the heritage of Taiwanese medical halls into a contemporary café experience, balancing tradition, functionality, and modern aesthetics. Inspired by the narrow alleyway shop format, the design emphasizes structured order, transparency, and spatial flow to create a dynamic yet intimate environment. Key elements include a breeze block-clad counter reminiscent of medicine cabinets, transparent seating for contrast and lightness, and flexible pathways that encourage interaction. The space is both nostalgic and progressive, designed not just as a café but as an immersive cultural experience where history and modernity seamlessly converge. ————————————————— HID ~ How I Dwell Transforming spaces into personalised sanctuaries Ready to transform your space?
