首先，世宗都市自治市是首尔地区周围新开发的城市。我们想提供一个地方，让人们能够从寒冷的城市生活中逃离出来，能够反思自己。我们想为人们提供一个机会，让他们摆脱疲惫的日常生活，并通过这个地方体验一个面对自己的时间。简单的方形金属块外观和位于不太靠近生活区的场地显示了 “精致”。
First, Sejong Metropolitan Autonomous City is a newly developed city around Seoul area. We wanted to provide a place where people can escape from the cold city life to be able to reflect on themselves. We wanted to provide people the opportunity to clear out their tiring daily routine and to experience a time to face themselves through this place. The simple square metal mass exterior and site being located not too close to the living area display ‘refinement.’
第二，整个项目的出发点是希望为顾客提供特殊的时间。我们认为，人们购买咖啡就像购买他们在咖啡馆度过的时间。我们想在人与人之间建立一种情感联系，让他们的心灵得到净化。这种联系是通过咖啡馆周围的雾气来实现的。雾气有多种多样的情感。它模糊了清晰的界限，不仅显示了事物更简化的形象，而且还帮助人们更专注于他们的内在自我。
Second, the whole project started from wanting to provide special time to customers. We considered that people buying coffee is like purchasing the time they spend in the café. We wanted to create an emotional connection between the people and the clearing of their mind. This connection was made possible by fog surrounding the café with fog.There are varied emotions that fog has. It blurs the clear line not only showing more simplified image of things but also helps people to focus more on their inner selves.

平面图 – 墙的表面作为椅子的靠背，顾客可以看到院子在中间。这面墙略微向后倾斜，以帮助顾客凝视院子里的植物、天空和雾气。顾客可以在凝视这一景色时面对自己。随着时间和季节的变化，植物和天空的不同形象是对生命周期的一种隐喻。
Floor Plan – The surface of the wall works as a back of the chair and customers can see the courtyard is in the middle. This wall is slightly leaned backwards to help customers gaze the plants in the courtyard, the sky and the fog. Customers can face themselves while gazing this view. Different images of plants and sky as time and season change is a metaphor for cycle of life.
当门打开时，中间是一个院子。首先注意到的是地板，但值得注意的是，这个院子变成了一个没有天花板的室外区域。对角线为中心增加了更多的焦点。室内设计和装修材料也是非常的干净和简单。为了增加设计的连贯性，我们把木椅用墨水染成黑色，并在长椅之间放置了类似颜色的石头。
When the door opens, in the middle is the courtyard. The first thing to notice is the floor but it is noticeable that this courtyard turns out to be an outdoor area with no ceiling. The diagonal line adds more focus to the center. Interior design and the finishing material are also very much clean and simple. To add coherence to the design, we have colored the wooden chair black with ink and placed similar color of stones in between the benches.
粗糙的质地和建筑的简单形状导致了 “精致”。外面没有窗户，这让人很难弄清楚里面是什么。作为装饰材料的钢打断了电波，导致手机连接不良。然而，客户希望故意留下这种干扰，以帮助人们专注于自己。
The rough texture and the simple shape of the building lead to ‘refinement’. There are no windows on the outside which makes it hard to figure out what’s inside. The steel as a finishing material interrupts airwaves resulting bad cell phone connection. However, clients wanted to leave this interruption intentionally to help people focus on themselves.
没有给电子设备充电的插头也是设计的一部分，以帮助客户更专注于自己。在院子的对面，LED屏幕帮助顾客定位咖啡吧，但它也通过其右侧的时钟显示时间。这个设计描绘了时间的流动和生命的循环。它还显示了时间的流动与外界相同，但现代的LED屏幕给人以冲突的形象，与咖啡馆的气氛产生不一致的感觉。
The absence of plugs for charging electronic devices is also part of the design to help customers concentrate more on themselves. Across the courtyard, LED screen helps customers to locate the coffee bar but it also shows time with the clock on its right. This design portrays the flow of time and the cycle of life. It also shows that time flows the same as the outside world, but the modern LED screen gives clashing image with the atmosphere of the café creating disparate feelings.
