- Unique Properties
- Tarentum, a brand of Greek-themed restaurant chain from Shenzhen, recently opened its first store in Wuhan. The brand delivers the Mediterranean ocean style to the city streets of Wuhan, which brings a day-and-night lifestyle.

- Inspiration
- Mykonos, an Island lying in the southeast of Athens, is unique among many Aegean islands with its special dreamy temperament.

- Challenge
- The Greek culture is colorful, but it is not easy to find and conceive the materials needed to create the artistic conception, and it is also difficult to conduct spatial interpretation. On the other hand, cultural differences may pose a certain challenge for designer to pursue that the Greek-themed catering space can be widely recognized and loved.
