Lu.Co.咖啡店位于圣彼得堡市中心的一栋历史建筑中，该建筑的前身是Rospechat商店。优秀的空间设计需要体现出建筑的过去及未来。店面上方苏联时期的的铰链灯箱将成为吸引客人的焦点。灯箱上印有简约的咖啡店logo，该logo由圣彼得堡平面设计师Anton Gorbunov为咖啡店专门设计。
Lu.Co. coffee Shop is located in the historic building of the former «Rospechat» store in the center of Saint Petersburg. Soviet period hinged light-box became a visual reference point for guests. The light box holds a minimalistic corporate logo, which was specially developed for the coffee shop by Saint Petersburg graphic designer Anton Gorbunov.

通过具有历史意义的铝门，将进入面积为37平方米的内空间，其内包含有咖啡厅，工作区和零售区等多个区域，不同功能区通过对比强烈的色块区分。咖啡厅采用了浅色调，而后是金色的工作区。工作区从墙，家具到天花板都被涂上了饱和度较高的金色涂料，统一的着色打造出沉浸式空间效果。这种色调的灵感，来自于建筑原有的铝门。零售区的展台和金色吧台是AKME事务所根据咖啡厅前门的比例特别设计的，因而其尺度及颜色能很好地将建筑的过去与现在相结合。咖啡厅的洗手间也用完美的蓝色打造出意想不到的浸入式效果。

Historic aluminum doors lead into a space of 37 square meters, which contains several zones: a coffee shop, a working area and a retail area. Color contrast allows to split zones with different functions. The light-colored coffee shop continues into the “golden room” – the working area in the back of the coffee shop, which has immersion in color effect because of monolithic coloring: the walls, furniture and ceiling of the zone are painted in a single saturated golden tone. This color was inspired by historic aluminum doors. Pro rata to the proportions of the front doors AKME designers have also developed custom-made shelf system for the retail area and a golden bar counter. Thus, the proportions and color of the bar counter and work area allow to combine the architecture of past and present. The color immersion effect was also used in the design of the bathroom, which becomes an unexpected accent of a perfect blue color.

咖啡厅内使用天然材料以提升其舒适性。休息区采用了定制的木质家具。店内的食物及咖啡啧盛放在圣彼得堡工作坊o.forma出产的简洁的陶瓷器皿中。Lu.Co.非常关注环境问题及智能消费理念，因此店内设置了单独的废品回收装置。并且，客人可以在零售区购买到可重复使用的咖啡杯及金属吸管。
The cosiness of the coffee shop is achieved with natural materials: the seating area is organized with custom-made wooden furniture, food and coffee are served in laconic ceramic crockery created by the Saint Petersburg workshop “o.forma”. Lu.Co cares about the environment and the idea of smart consumption. Therefore, the project provides facilities for separate collection of waste, and in the retail area guests may buy reusable coffee cups and metal tubes.
