Coffee Shop Design

  • Design is derived from culture

    Modern day designers gain much of their inspiration from ancient cultural designs which have been regarded as special and beautiful.  This inspiration allows them to create modern designs which then create business opportunities.  Currently, designers love to use historical relics to find inspiration for their designs.  During his speeches about architectural design world famous Asian architect I.M. Pei has spoken about a poem from 1600 years ago by Tao Yen Min called Peach Blossom Shangri-la, where Tao Yen Min dreams of living in a paradise. This provided Pei with inspiration to build this paradise in the MIHO art museum in Japan.  The entrance is similar to a cave followed by a light at the end of the tunnel where you can clearly see the paradise he designed.  The meaning of this design is that the darkness of the tunnel followed by the light represents a passage to another world. 
    SPR Coffee’s design inspiration follows this as well.  The designs for the franchises are created according to the characteristics of the store location, the expected customers and special characteristics of the surrounding environment.  This results in personal designs for each location.  Therefore, SPR Coffee’s customers have discovered that each location has its own atmosphere and style which is very popular with customers and has become a unique feature of SPR Coffee.   On one hand design is flexible and the possibilities are endless.  The design can come from observing every day life or can come from one’s imagination.  However, all the basic elements and concepts of our design are the same in which we aim to create a warm space which feels like home.
    Although different coffee shops have different styles, SPR Coffee’s designs all come from the same principles which are drawn from the best elements of different cultures combined with Chinese culture.  Our design has passed the test of time and it has proven to be correct and well received by the customers.

Modern Office Design

 GREEN OFFICE
Gone are the days when offices were typically cubicle, surrounded by white walls and lit by white fluorescent lights. Thanks to corporate giants like Google and Pixar that have demonstrated tremendous success despite their unconventional workplaces, more people are embracing the idea that creative work environment helps stimulate minds and inspire innovation. From simply ditching the crisp white walls for graphical wallpapers to a total overhaul of the office layout, we are all trying to break the mold and introduce a unique working environment to the team, and hopefully inspire some genius ideas along the way.

Beautyful Bathroom


A bathroom is a room that may have different functions depending on the culturalist context. In the most literal sense, the word bathroom means "a room with a bath". Because the traditional bathtubs have partly made way for modern showers, including steam showers, the more general definition is "a room where one bathes".
There can be just a shower (or shower-bath), just a bath (or bathtub) or both; and often both plumbing fixtures are combined in the bathtub. The room may also contain a sink (or wash basin or hand basin), a lavatory and a bidet.

In the United States, "bathroom" commonly means "a room containing a lavatory". In other countries this is usually called the "toilet" or alternatively "water closet" (WC), lavatory or "loo". The word "bathroom" is also used in the U.S. for a public toilet (the more formal U.S. term being "restroom").




Kitchen Design

A kitchen is a room or part of a room used for cooking and food preparation.


In the West, a modern residential kitchen is typically equipped with a stove, a sink with hot and cold running water, a refrigerator and kitchen cabinets arranged according to a modular design. Many households have a microwave oven, a dishwasher and other electric appliances. The main function of a kitchen is cooking or preparing food but it may also be used for dining and entertaining.
