(Architecture Trip) An Old House Becomes A Coffee Shop

Business is all about taking advantage of available opportunities. Especially the coffee shop business which currently can be established in a house in general.

We need courage. Once the opportunity is there, we must not waste the opportunity.

Be a coffee shop, from a big old house. At that time I was amazed to see how sturdy the old house was. Even though the house is old, it still leaves a dashing and luxurious impression.

At that time I had the opportunity to stop at a coffee shop in the middle of Medan. I was invited by one of my passengers to the place. So, I will share my experience about the design of a coffee shop with you.

It's a AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE. Located in the city of Medan which is quite busy with workers. It's nice to be able to drink coffee in a coffee shop that feels homey. The real home because it was founded is actually in a residential house.

AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE

The view from the front doesn't show that it's a coffee shop at all. We will see that the building is a big old house and still looks luxurious.

As soon as we enter this coffee shop, we can see a sign with the name of this coffee shop "AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE". As in front of the terrace of the house, with two large white pillars that give the impression of splendor.

The more you enter the house, the more homey vibes will be felt. Like home vibes in general, we can feel the simplicity there.

Many windows are placed there. This creates a cool atmosphere in the indoor area even though you don't use air conditioning. There is only a traditional fan hanging on the roof.

Playing With Floor Motive

The unique thing that we can see from the living room of this house is the play on the floor of this building. In some spaces a cross motif is formed using different ceramic colors. It makes the room look spacious.

Also used several other ceramic motifs in the same area to create the impression of a lot of space in that one room.

Sturdy and Elegant Wood Texture

The use of wood has always been an interesting thing in buildings. Wood material creates a texture and color that has a strong and elegant character.

At AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE which has a total of 3 floors, you can see a sturdy building using wood materials. Starting from windows, chairs, tables, also the materials that form the banisters.

The stairs are also made using wood material. When climbing the steps, there is no texture sound at all indicating that the wood is strong.

Turning to chairs, chairs with various shapes as furniture that is rich in wood material.

Also, on the top floor there are two wooden rocking chairs that still look solid even though they look like two old chairs.

On the roof, we also see the use of wood material which really defines the room. I am amazed how the room looks luxurious and not glamorous, but still looks peaceful with the texture of the wood.

🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠

Combined with the use of room lights, AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE looks increasingly like a solid building.

🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠🏠

Empty Area Utilization

As is the case with multi-storey houses in general, there are various small empty spaces. For example the side of the house on the second floor.

They use the place for mushala (a prayer room for Muslims). Beside the prayer room, there is a small space where small chairs are placed.

Also, added wooden tables with a nice wood texture. This space is quite useful, especially if the coffee shop is busy, especially on weekends.

I came to this place on a weekday, and it was still early in the morning. So I was lucky to be able to photograph this place.

They also take advantage of the garden area in front of the house for outdoor areas. When I arrived, the chairs had not been arranged because it had just rained there. But this space will be a cool place because it has green space. Suitable for a place to relax in the afternoon.

Overall, I feel comfortable being at AWAIAN COFFEE HOUSE. It felt like I was in a charming old house.

Here so many coffee shop build in general house. That's really great to start business

The architecture and design are really amazing, it looks very feng shui, very harmonious and transmits peace, without a doubt it is an excellent place to share a coffee with someone very special.

I thought it is very balance too. Here many building has many fengshui rules

I love the architectural design, the ambiance and everything. I would never get tired taking photos and spending time here, of course with coffee. The ceiling is beautiful.

I feel like enjoying coffee in my own house ehehe. Really homey

A coffee shop that uses an old house definitely has an interesting and mysterious impression. I've been to this coffee shop once, and an interesting experience for me.

Mysterious when we visit upper floor and sering rocking chair. Ehehe

I am impressed with the design. I am curious who's the architect behind that extraordinary structure.☺️

Here i my country, often we design our own house. Because that old house I think the owner design that house 🙂

if we bring our parents into this cafe they will definitely feel nostalgic. enjoying a cup of coffee in a rocking chair with your partner feels like the world belongs to both of us. curious also want to come to this cafe. what is the address of this cafe
