Spanning approximately 800 square meters, the café's layout is thoughtfully designed to immerse patrons in an atmosphere of comfort and creativity. The larger gray cube, prominently positioned at the forefront, features an array of triangular openings and voids that cast intricate patterns of light and shadow throughout the space, enhancing its dynamic ambiance. The materials—smooth concrete, warm wood, and expansive glass—are meticulously chosen to celebrate the simplicity and purity of the design.
As guests step inside, they are welcomed into a spacious atrium, where the high ceiling and triangular skylights amplify the feeling of openness. The soaring nine-meter height creates an awe-inspiring contrast to the subdued exterior, enveloping visitors in a surprising and uplifting atmosphere. Meanwhile, the smaller black cube, dedicated to the bar, presents a captivating contrast with its square openings and deliberate voids, offering a unique ambiance that sets it apart from the main café. Together, these elements create a harmonious space that invites connection, reflection, and enjoyment for all who enter.
