The modern café brings in youthful energy and fresh elements imbued with the steadfast qualities of traditional materiality. The spatial organization is a tribute to the traditional alley streets of Kyoto, offering glimpses of what is yet to be explored under the playful yellow and white canopy. All the while, the design infuses visual traits of Japanese design to reflect the Japanese-style dessert that it serves. Visitors are greeted by the soft curve and bright yellow of the high canopy as it frames a modern temple-like structure.
