Spanning 1,000 m2, this building features alcove garden seating and a dining kitchen, which serves as a multifunctional space for a flexible meeting workspace, event venue, cocktail bar, and dining room. The ash-gray and charcoal tone against the use of reflective bright aluminum graces the kitchen, contrasting with the vibrant greenery and giving a nod to the neighborhood's industrial past. A series of fun and luxurious theater marquee lights hang on the ceiling above the kitchen island, evoking the feeling of a ‘bar stage’ that enhances the social interaction between each user.
