The customer-centered design team introduces the Dongguan’s rich urban culture into the space, with particular attention to the connectivity and integration of the outside and inside of the architecture. The cafe area, with green as its typical color echoing green city, serves as a social space reflecting the aesthetics of nature. 

From the perspective of brand interaction, the use of CIFI bear IP makes the space a real social community full of the aesthetics of nature and life. As the start of "Urban Natural Beauty" ,the reception hall themed as "Four Seasons of Wonder Forest" is surrounded by well-proportioned bird of paradise (strelitzia reginae), illustrating the infinite possibilities of new urban life. Its metal reception desk and light-colored marble enrich visual experience in this vibrant, elegant space, and also demonstrate the beautiful yearning for city nature. 

The design of cafe area is inspired by the curved, layered tarpaulin in cafe, which has become a beautiful sight for cafe. In the middle of cafe area are rotating shelves displaying CIFI cafe products, making the space positive and uplifting while narrating CIFI brand story. The top of the negotiation area is based on the airship arc, and combined with the cafe tarpaulin, the overall layout and the curved ceiling echo each other. 

The smooth traffic flow enhances streamlined design, and provides a relaxing, romantic environment. The organic combination of metal and marble adds some urban features to the space, which is in good order and highlights ceremony. The space, however, turns out to be poetic and modern because of the artful floral decoration. The round sand table area displays the Oriental charm and expresses the yearning for a future city. 

The design of connecting it with cafe area directly downplays the sales office function of the space, whereas it highlights the role of nature. Nature is the eternal theme of human beings. The nature-themed children area is designed to impart natural science via space experience. The ceiling speaks of nature, and children can have a good time in this multi-space jungle.
