The client’s brief was to establish a Coffee School on the fourth floor of the Big Black Box office building. In response, the PSD design team began by researching the guidelines and standards set by the Specialty Coffee Association (SCA) to create a learning environment that meets both functional requirements and delivers a professional user experience.
The core design concept is THE GRID — inspired by the systematic world of coffee professionals, where every process, from roasting to cupping to brewing, follows structured methods, data tables, and precise measurements. This grid system was adopted as the design language, expressed through organized spatial planning, clean linear forms, and materials that reflect professionalism, warmth, and a sense of community. The result is a learning space that truly embodies the spirit of an "Academy for Coffee People."
