Seats are set up everywhere.
Bench seats, counter seats, table seats, outdoor terrace seats, and other seating options are available.
The space is also equipped with a children's area, so mothers who are busy raising their children can come here to rest while they do their laundry.
The walls and floors are finished with PVC, which is stain-resistant, easy to wipe clean, and hygienic.
The space is accessible to all ages.

Research

Guests can spend tea time at the table while waiting for their laundry to be finished, coffee time with friends on the outdoor terrace, remote work time while drinking coffee at the counter table, or dessert time with gelato to satisfy their hunger.
The colorful space with many plantings is special to the people in the community.

Inspiration

Located near the beach, the location is not bad, but the area is not modernized and is lined with old buildings.
It has the potential to be transformed into a wonderful cityscape.
This space is a stepping stone to changing the atmosphere of the city.
