Context of site surrounding with existing humble landscape scene, So we design to position the building to surround the original tree and serve area as backdrop building.
Structure Isometric
For this reason ,we want to push cafe function to touch natural air and light a much as possible ,Then we arrange seat area to outdoor terrace more than 50% . Link indoor café with many window and decide to use Polycarbonate sheet for let the light come inside . And make people outside can touch inside’s environment, too.

We try to challenge out design to use basic industrial material and local craftsmen to make a low cost but interesting building scene.
