The highest art of "XUN" is not about conquest, but about respect. The "XUN·Bakery" brand selects a 14-year-old wild yeast as the fermentation base. In dealing with wild yeast, only by respecting, not altering, can its natural essence be preserved. The brand carries the motto "Reverence for the Wild" and hopes to extend this practice into the aesthetics of the space, sharing it with the customers.
The challenge of this design project was to incorporate the brand's temperament of "XUN" into a space of just over a hundred square meters, while also maintaining the characteristics of a bakery, which is the core of the design. The distinctive feature of this project is that the main materials used throughout the space are just a few pieces of raw stone slabs, which are fully utilized to complete the division, paving, and coating of the space. From the design strategy to the external spatial aesthetics, the brand's advocacy of "Reverence for the Wild" is subtly presented in an intangible way.

The world does not speak, yet it holds great beauty. This bakery space, which coexists with the rocky mountains, is constructed from raw, unprocessed stone, breaking through the conventional imagination of a bakery. With rugged raw stone, the space explores the hidden beauty of simplicity and restraint, revealing the brand ethos of "Reverence for the Wild" in the details of its creation. The design adds richer connotations and value to the space, showcasing an alternative design possibility for bakery environments.
Internally, the focus is on returning to the essence, following the natural features of the raw stone as a clue; externally, the rugged nature, true form, and colors of mountain rocks are applied within the space, achieving a unified communication of the brand's spirit from the inside out. Spatial design is not merely a single expression of aesthetics; the extension of the core ideas is what makes it fascinating and worth savoring in detail.
