放缓

Slow down

“小隐于野，大隐于市”。繁华都市中，人人都需要一处从繁忙中解脱出来的身心的栖所…… 在纷繁都市的华厦之中，这处并不隐秘却异常安静的空间，正呼唤人们放慢脚步，得片刻宁静。

The “lesser hermit” lives in seclusion in the country, the “greater hermit” does so in the city. In a prosperous city, everyone needs a place to be freed from the busyness of mind and body… Among the mansions of the busy city, this undisclosed but unusually quiet space is calling for people to slow down and get a moment of tranquility.

融入

Integrate into

For the interior part of the coffee shop, we hope to break the layout of the traditional large public space of the coffee shop. With the glass brick as the background, the bar couner is combined with the functions of the guest seat, waiting area, landscape, and spiral staircase on the second floor to form a new coffee experience “ladder”. Go up slowly and insert it into the original building, dividing the original unobstructed space and forming a more varied coffee experience space. It gives a new visual focus to the originally regular building and stimulates the curiosity of guests to explore.
