Wanxiang-L1 Communal Terrace

The space is a cultural retreat set within the poetic landscape of a traditional Chinese garden, where mountain, water, and architecture harmonize. Rooted in China’s heritage of seeking balance with nature, the design reinterprets the café as a place of leisure, reflection, and renewal.
A soaring library wall and sculptural tree-like form create an atmosphere that is both scholarly and spiritual, echoing the literati tradition of gathering amid books, tea, and scenery. Natural textures, filtered light, and framed views of the garden embody the timeless Chinese pursuit of harmony between humanity and the landscape.
