Design concept
Inspired by nature, the design blends the minimalist aesthetic of Wabisabi with the warmth of Japandi style. The architecture seamlessly integrates into its environment using earthy tones and natural textures. This gentle approach creates a welcoming, familiar atmosphere that encourages guests to slow down and relax.
Space layout & Concept
The open layout allows effortless movement, featuring a spacious garden for groups and a cozy indoor space for individual work. Rather than crafting artificial photo spots, the design focuses on overall balance and spatial harmony. This authentic serenity naturally becomes the defining backdrop for every visitor's experience.
Detail & Material
The project highlights raw, authentic materials sourced across Vietnam, including water-resistant reclaimed ship timber, handcrafted Southern terra-cotta tiles, and natural stone. A key highlight is the wooden entrance inspired by the Japanese Torii gate, subtly bridging local craftsmanship with the brand’s identity. Intricate handcrafted details throughout the space honor traditional artistry and the pure origin of tea and coffee.
