Since ever the wall has been seen as a pure limit, almost not traversable.

The project aims to reinterpretate this items as a connective border between the existing and the proposal. Its porosity in fact will lead visitors and inhabitants from the chaotic environment of the outer ring to the more quiet in the inner part through a series of open gathering spaces allowing more interaction and sharing experiences.

Demoilshed the wall between two shoplot. Remove unneeded wall and balcony area to maximise the spaces face front, and also get three washrooms for customer, the others for staff.

2. Entrance curve panel & vinyl flooring finishes. A “U” shape clean white curve wall with two arc opening was created as a connection between reception counter and the front spaces, a nuring room was also provided in this curve spaces. Vinyl tiles flooring is the best flooring solution for family cafe, to control the gap minimization.

3. Dry wall partition built. Seperate the kitchen area with full height brick wall also two arch opening was created on it for food passing and dirty plates passing through customer and kitchen.

4. Facade sticker & semi-arch panel. Four to five colours were chosen based on the concept of logo design branding with a purpose of beautifying the frameless glass building facade as a promotion tool to draw attention from the passby.
