- Dual split-view showing a gabled brick exterior facade with signage canopy on the left and a double-height industrial interior hall with a curved mezzanine gallery on the right.

- Exposed brick masonry wall with arched multi-pane windows and an overhanging steel entrance canopy.
- Structural guess
- Load-bearing brick walls with secondary steel frame mezzanine and roof trusses.
- Spatial scale
- Double-height interior volume with human-scaled seating below and a perimeter mezzanine above.
- Lighting
- Daylight outdoors with bright sky and hard shadows; balanced interior illumination with daylight filtering through roof monitors and warm accent lighting.
- Atmosphere
- Lively, theatrical, and rich in material contrast between raw brick, painted steel, and lush greenery.
- Environmental context
- Renovated industrial warehouse setting converted into commercial restaurant spaces.
- Spatial experience
- Transition from an activated, plant-lined street entry canopy into a dramatic open industrial hall with high-spanning steel trusses.
