In the bustling city, designers created an urban oasis. Two large trees, a pristine white design with curved light strips, and star lamps combine for a soothing ambiance, inviting visitors to escape the hustle and bustle and embark on a creative journey through the city.

The coffee shop boasts a palette of pure white, blending with elements representing distinct seasons. Arced lines and tree silhouettes, stone seats, and raw wooden stools form a cozy setting. Transparent ceilings enhance visual appeal, fostering diffused light. Cascading seating facilitates interactive relationships between functionality and views.

Two ginkgo trees, aligned with the aisle, create a park-like impression. The cafe's interior, dominated by a bright white palette, minimizes distractions and enhances the connection to nature. The trees also provide protection in Feng Shui, and at the same time obscure part of the interior, creating privacy for the customers. Organic curved lines guide movement in the space. The waiting area features stone chairs mimicking a park's style, creating a tranquil atmosphere under the trees. Star lamps at night adds enchantment.

Incorporating different seating levels provides unique perspectives and flexibility, forming a creative relationship between function and landscape. The semi-open design features different material ceilings for division, with transparent elements amplifying visual height. A white magazine cabinet divides the seating and multi-purpose areas. The area, with low wooden stools resembling art installations, contributing to a natural vibe.

The pristine white shade enhances luminosity, while floor-to-ceiling windows provide abundant daylight. Daytime lighting is minimized, cutting down energy consumption for illumination.
