Designed around movement and everyday life, the space opens naturally to the flow of the surrounding neighbourhood, allowing movement and activity to define the experience. Open sightlines, warm materials, and fluid transitions between walkway, seating, and counter create a store shaped for both quick stops and small pauses throughout the day.
Built from reclaimed timber and recycled coffee waste, Alchemist Kyobashi reflects a continued use of what already exists. These elements are reassembled carefully, softened with plants that shift with time.
Together with living elements, the space is designed to evolve through daily use.
In Zhongxiao Dunhua’s East District, tiled buildings line the streets with texture and memory, Alchemist Dunhua sits quietly at the corner. Extending gently into the street, it becomes part of the everyday. Inside, a palette of clay brick and recycled coffee panels shapes an interior that feels easy to enter, stay, and return to.
