Coffee is a major commodity and an essential part of the cultural identity of the Acehnese people, recognized both nationally and internationally. However, educational spaces that can represent the history, processes, and cultural values of Acehnese coffee remain limited. The design of the Coffee Museum in Banda Aceh aims to create a public space that functions not only as a center for information and documentation, but also as a medium to convey the cultural narrative of coffee in a visual, symbolic, and interactive manner through an analogy-based architectural approach. This approach serves as the conceptual foundation by adopting the form and meaning of the coffee bean into the design of the building’s massing, spatial structure, and interior atmosphere. The museum is strategically located in Banda Aceh, selected for its accessibility and connection to surrounding cultural tourism destinations. The museum is designed to integrate educational, recreational, and cultural functions through exhibition spaces, cupping rooms, workshops, interactive media, a library, and a coffee shop. The design encourages deeper interaction between visitors and exhibition content through a narrative-based spatial experience reinforced by architectural elements. This museum is expected to become a new icon for the city of Banda Aceh, strengthening local identity while serving as a platform for preserving and developing the rich coffee culture of Aceh.
