Grey Espresso I & II: Minimalist Spaces that Highlight Every Visitor
Grey Espresso I and II are coffee spaces run by the stylish barista Hong, designed with careful research into both coffee flavors and color aesthetics. From the very beginning, the concept and color palette were considered in tandem, and this philosophy continues across both locations.
The client believed that the reason for the spaceβs existence is the people who visit it. Each visitor comes with different moods and thoughts, experiencing the same coffee in unique ways. To highlight their presence, the space itself needed to remain simple and neutral.
Colors, forms, and even the floor plan are intentionally minimalistic, yet this simplicity is the result of deep consideration and thoughtful design.
Amid the intense coffee competition in Yeouido, both locations continue to be loved by many visitors.
Although both sites are approximately 10m x 3m in size, their layouts differ from each other.

Efficient spaces often come from surprisingly simple floor plans. Yet, we also want spaces that have personality. True character can emerge not from a flashy layout, but from meticulous detailing. Especially in neutral-colored spaces, every small detail demands attention, teaching us the importance of precise planning and focused execution in construction.
