Modern Garden in a Classical Residence from the Republic of China

In the long river of time, an old residence from the Republic of China stands still. It has witnessed the passage of time and carried countless memories. However, time is relentless, and this residence is gradually becoming dilapidated and needs a brand new transformation to rejuvenate itself.
Our design team accepted this challenge with the intention of preserving the original structure of the residence while incorporating innovative and interesting design elements. Our goal is to create a forest-themed coffee shop where people can feel the breath of nature and escape the hustle and bustle of city life.
Stepping into this coffee shop is like traveling through time and space, arriving at an ancient courtyard residence. The doorframe of the ancient residence is filled with marks of time, as if telling stories of the past. As you push the door open, what greets your eyes is a garden full of greenery. The flowers, plants, and trees in the garden have been meticulously pruned and arranged in a harmonious manner. Sunlight filters through the gaps between leaves, casting dappled light and shadows, giving people a sense of tranquility and comfort.
In the center of the courtyard lies a sky well, connecting the indoor and outdoor spaces. The design of the sky well is full of creativity, with moss and stone paths added, allowing people to stroll and appreciate the beauty of nature. Around the sky well is a circle of wooden seats for rest and gathering. Here, you can enjoy tea and chat with friends or sit alone, enjoying a moment of peace.
The interior design of the coffee shop also combines ancient and modern elements. The walls retain the original brick structure but are repolished and painted to give them a new look. A row of wooden ceiling lamps hangs from the ceiling, emitting soft light and creating a warm atmosphere. The furniture in the coffee shop is made of raw wood, simple yet elegant.
In addition to traditional coffee drinks, we have introduced modern Japanese dessert elements. There is a delicate dessert counter in one corner of the coffee shop, offering various delicious desserts. Whether it's a rich latte or a refreshing fruit salad, it can satisfy different tastes.
This transformed coffee shop has become an urban oasis for young people to escape the hustle and bustle. Here, they can distance themselves from the busy pace of life and immerse themselves in the embrace of nature. Whether it's gathering with friends or enjoying a cup of coffee alone, this place can bring them a sense of tranquility and relaxation.
