Lu.Co.咖啡店位於聖彼得堡市中心的一棟歷史建築中，該建築的前身是Rospechat商店。優秀的空間設計需要體現出建築的過去及未來。店面上方蘇聯時期的的鉸鏈燈箱將成為吸引客人的焦點。燈箱上印有簡約的咖啡店logo，該logo由聖彼得堡平面設計師Anton Gorbunov為咖啡店專門設計。
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.

在該項目中，AKME事務所保留並強調了Rospechat商店原有的大理石地板，灰泥裝飾及裝有鋁門的入口區域，以呈現出建築的歷史記憶。

通過具有歷史意義的鋁門，將進入面積為37平方米的內空間，其內包含有咖啡廳，工作區和零售區等多個區域，不同功能區通過對比強烈的色塊區分。咖啡廳採用了淺色調，而後是金色的工作區。工作區從牆，傢俱到天花板都被塗上了飽和度較高的金色塗料，統一的著色打造出沉浸式空間效果。這種色調的靈感，來自於建築原有的鋁門。零售區的展臺和金色吧檯是AKME事務所根據咖啡廳前門的比例特別設計的，因而其尺度及顏色能很好地將建築的過去與現在相結合。咖啡廳的洗手間也用完美的藍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.

咖啡廳內使用天然材料以提升其舒適性。休息區採用了定製的木質傢俱。店內的食物及咖啡嘖盛放在聖彼得堡工作坊o.forma出產的簡潔的陶瓷器皿中。Lu.Co.非常關注環境問題及智能消費理念，因此店內設置了單獨的廢品回收裝置。並且，客人可以在零售區購買到可重複使用的咖啡杯及金屬吸管。
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.
