In autumn harvest season, the whisper of breeze blows pass through the fields and the ears of rice... The foundation was once a space for preserving crops, yet, now undergoing a refined transformation. The exterior preserves the nostalgic flavor while finishing the interior with China fir furnishings and excellently brings about a timeless appeal via the mellow aroma of coffee.

The aroma of the beverages exudes a wonderful new flavor within the beautiful old-time situation. The features of China fir, cypress, and pig iron ingeniously lead the consumers into the time tunnel and receive a unique experience of soothing the body, mind, and soul in the rustic antique circumstance.





The whole building holds the concept of "a barn", and maintains its original appearance. Despite that it is mainly operating as a coffee shop, it also has multiple usages such as promoting agricultural products, industry-academia cooperation, and coffee beans evaluation. Therefore, configure a multi-functional space and equip a universal sliding door, which can be pulled up to serve as a classroom when necessary.





Carefully choose armchairs, high stools, long desks, and coffee tables of various shapes, wishing the visitors who come here for gathering, relaxing, or working, can leisurely enjoy a remarkable time.





The smooth flow and spacious seating arrangement make people feel invited and pressure-free. Furthermore, set up parent-child and barrier-free spaces of the public restroom, so that every guest can use it comfortably.





In the capacious café, the archaized poles, Taiwan fir tables, chairs, and equipment echo the cypress roof via the coordinated pattern and elements, as well as generating the antique barn situation. Marvelously bring the precious memories of the past to nowadays; besides to enhance the overall nostalgic atmosphere, further increase the glamorous touches of the renovated space.

Specially set soft yellow lights shine upward to reflect the rustic light and shadow of the roof cypress truss to create a natural scene. Arrange a few cozy sitting areas of the central L-shaped mezzanine, which serves as a focal feature of the building.
