The space is transformed from an amphitheatre form into a coffee shop based on the object of the coffee bean, with the external form of the coffee bean as the core element of the space design, and the five coffee beans fused and decomposed into the entire spatial structure of the shop.

In a city of concrete and steel, the combination of wood and metal paint creates a silent corner.

A stream of white light cascades down from above the amphitheatre, intertwining with the warm light inside, tainting it with the warmth of the earth.

The cavern's "skyward" greenery is a powerful green link between the inner and outer spaces, and a reflection on man and nature, man and life.

The design of the space is minimalist but uncomplicated and un-redundant. The living area is clear with all black tables and chairs, with no particular partitioning. A place for the urban wanderer to relax and soak up a moment of peace.

Away from the habits of the moment, ready to enter into new adventures, never letting inertia shrink the possibilities about life.
