- Multi-level timber structure featuring deep coffered overhangs, an open-air central courtyard, and continuous glazed curtain walls.
- Facade system

- Two-story massing with human-scaled café seating and wide sheltering overhangs.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight casting crisp shadows beneath deep wooden eaves.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, welcoming, and sheltered under intricate wooden grids.
- Environmental context
- Low-rise timber-framed complex integrated with planters and gravel plaza paving.
- Spatial experience
- The transition from under-canopy shading to open courtyard creates an inviting, public-scale outdoor gathering realm.
