The designers have also tried to create an atmosphere of bringing the garden into the house, creating an “indoor but outdoor” feeling suitable for guests to sit fast or sit around the bar looking at mixing.

Different staircases connect the various levels of the coffee shop, with each level having unique seating areas, from small tables with a couple of chairs, to counter seating overlooking the lower level, and benches.
