MONOLOGO（谟农咖啡）的选址在北京751园区的工业景观保护区内，场地南侧的炉罐区完整保留，西侧与园区主路之间是一片开阔的场地。

MONOLOGO (Monong Coffee) is located in the industrial landscape protection area of Beijing’s 751 Park. This site includes a furnace tank area on the south side of the original 751 plant which has been wholly preserved, while a vast open space spreads between the west side and the main road cutting through the park.

基地核心部分是一栋混凝土框架结构的厂房，建于20世纪70年代；场地中央保留了三个大型炉罐；厂房东南西三面分两次加建了黄色和黑色两处钢结构的部分。我们这次的改造可以算作这个场所的第四次“生长”，我们希望前三次的记忆能被完整的保留下来，并通过这次的方案将它们串联成一个完整的故事。

The core part of the site is a factory building with a concrete frame structure dating back to the 1970s. Three imposing furnace tanks are preserved in the center of the site. Two yellow and black steel structures were added to the south, east and west corners of the plant in two separate occasions. Our renovation project should be counted as the fourth "extension" of the site. We hope that memories of former interventions may be fully preserved, and through this project, they will eventually be connected into a cohesive narrative.

我们首先用三种材料为三部分的空间分别设计了一套家具：为炉罐区设计了镶嵌金色瓷砖的混凝土家具；为黄色钢结构区域设计了桦木多层板家具；为黑色钢结构部分设计了不锈钢的厨房家具。三套家具加强了三个部分不同的场所体验，有时代感的材料与构造做法也让体验者易于发现新与旧的区别。

Firstly, we designed a set of furniture allocating distinctive materials for each of the three sections of the site: concrete furniture inlaid with golden tiles for the furnace tank area, birch plywood furniture for the yellow steel structure area and stainless-steel kitchen furniture for the black steel structure section. A trio of furniture highlights and diversifies experiences of the site, materials and construction methods imbued with an awareness of time make it easy for visitors to spot the difference between old and new.

第二步，我们在三个部分的交界处安放了三排细长的“扁柱”，穿针引线，将这三部分重新“缝合”在一起。扁柱能将两侧的自然光进行过滤，使核心空间的光线更加柔和。人们在空间漫步时，视线被局部遮挡，随着行走视点的变化，遮挡与通透不断地进行交替，形成了丰富的层次感，空间因此产生了引导性，鼓励客人去体验和发现。透过扁柱的间隙，客座区的客人可以看到整个烘焙和后厨的区域，看到咖啡制作和食物加工制作的全过程。

In a further step, we intersected three rows of slender "flat columns" at the junction of the three sections, thus threading a metaphorical needle, we tied them together in a knot. Flat columns can filter natural light on both sides, softening light in the core area of the site. When people walk into our space, their sightline line is partially blocked. With shifts in walking viewpoint, effects of shielding and transparency are constantly alternating, establishing a sense of rhythm and layer. The space thus becomes truly “compelling”, encouraging guests to roam around and be a part of it all. Through gaps between the flat columns, visitors in the guest seating area can see the entire baking and kitchen area and witness the whole process of coffee making and food processing.

第三步是用一个纯白色的“外套”将这三部分包裹成一个完整的方盒子。白色半透明的聚碳酸酯板立面非常纯净，从外部看不到任何框架结构，白天可以将自然光引入，晚上的灯光还可以穿透到外部。建筑带有一点临时感的姿态与周围的工业景观保护区形成了有趣的对话。

The third phase was to integrate these three parts into a square box wrapped in a pristine white "coating". A translucent polycarbonate board façade acts like a smooth coating though which no frame structure can be seen from the outside. Natural light can seep in at daytime, while illumination from the interior filters out at night. This slightly temporary gesture forms an interesting dialogue with surroundings explicitly bent to the preservation of industrial landscape.

咖啡馆是一种城市公共空间。MONOLOGO的室内空间高大空旷，其中伫立着纪念碑式的炉罐，两侧高大的柱列加强了空间的纪念性，进入的瞬间宛如走进一座上个世纪的遗迹。南北两侧的立面被设计为可以完全敞开，室内空间可以切换为有咖啡座的城市广场。

Furthermore, we believe that a café is meant to be a kind of urban public space. MONOLOGO’s high-ceilinged, spacious interior is graced with a monumental furnace tank, tall columns on both sides emphasize the celebratory air of the place, entering it instantly feels like stepping into a memorial to the last century. The façades on the north and south sides are designed to be completely open, and the interior space can be switched to an urban square with coffee seats.

我们在空间的顶部紧贴楼板布置了均匀的条形灯，这种朴素的布光使得室内光线的效果与自然光非常接近。光线把空间中每一件物品，包括顶部的管线与设备全部照亮，弱化了内与外的区分，同时也赋予了空间中所有元素以同等的尊严。

Lastly, we applied uniform strip lights onto the ceiling slabs. This simple lighting arrangement makes the effect of indoor lighting very close to natural light. Light illuminates every item, including pipelines and equipment on the top, blurring the distinction between interior and exterior, thus endowing all elements in the space with equal dignity.
