Rapid technological development and evolving lifestyles are broadening and diversifying the concept of the workplace, challenging the dominance of the traditional office typology. Today’s “new generation” workspaces can take many forms: a corner of a living room, a library, or even a café. This study explores one such example, focusing on the research question: How can coffee-concept cafés serve as effective workspaces from a spatial perspective?
Within this context, six coffee-concept cafés established for public use as part of the Ankara Saraçoğlu Neighborhood Transformation Project were examined through observational methods. The research evaluates the general, design, and functional characteristics of these cafés in relation to the six fundamental spatial needs identified by Augustin1 – control, attachment, restoration, activity support, familiarity, and communication.
