Text description provided by the architects. The pure design appeals to the eyes just like deliciousness appeals to the mind. Delicious is invisible, yet exist. The aim was to illustrate the meaning of it as the name of the coffee shop.

In the shopfront, there’s an outdoor bench which allows everyone to sit and rest. We created a gradually-visible window in the midst of plain white wall, showing each other some movement, inside and outside behavior. We also added a sense of relaxation by natural wood. There will have a warm gradually-lighten linear shade shadow through the window in an appropriate time.

Inside the coffee-room was divided into two main areas for customers and baristas, with 15 seats provided. Materials were almost white and light grey, adding some accent at the countertop which tiles pattern have been unfolded from a box to show delusive dimension.
