Unique Properties: The project is located in the European inspired street in a natural village near Chongqing City of China.

Tags: commercial, interior space, coffee shop, European style, classic, nature
Production Technology: Main materials: white natural marble, natural leather, laminate floor, brass and white latex paint.
Design Challenge: The most significant challenge for the design team was to combine the natural landscape in the area with the classical style. The efforts to preserve the natural view make consumers enjoy natural environment and sustainable relationship.
Research: The design team first conducted a field survey of the surroundings, hoping to create a style that was consistent with the surroundings by bringing the natural view into the interior space. Therefore, the design team used many European classical elements and decorations, and incorporate the addition of trees in the interior environment, connecting the natural scenery outside the window. At the same time, the use of large windows narrow the gap between interior and exterior space. Lastly, the cafe provides employment opportunities and promotes the development of the local economy.
Inspiration: The inspiration comes from the decorative art of the classical French and the British interior design, which enhance the atmosphere of space. On this basis, designers also hope to add some Rome marble pillars to divide the function of the space, making it an sunken area, which form the sense of combination of the void and the solid.
Project Duration: The project started in December 2019 and finished in November 2020 in Chongqing City.
Operation Flow: The entire space is divided by some Rome marble pillars into two areas. Through this way, the function of space is clear and at the same time the entire interior design is spacious and transparent.
