ceiling have been delicately combed and
           designed, all of which are stored on one
           side, and the external package is made
           of sound-absorbing materials, which are
           inconspicuously hidden into the bottom
           of the beam. Natural light shines into the
           underground space through skylights,
           planting wells and skylight corridors,
           casting a rhythmic light and shadow on
           the walls.
             The design of the building’s façade
           echoes the theme “shy”, hoping to leave
           a low-profile and mysterious impression
           from the exterior as well. The window
           frame serves as a link between the interior
           and exterior, and we chose to weaken
           the interaction between the interior and
           exterior in a subtle way, using partial
           blocking to reveal only part of the dining
           table and chair legs, so that viewers
           passing by outdoors can’t see what is on
           the table and who is dining there. Mini-
           paintings hanging on the wall make each
           pane of the window frame a scene and
           make  the façade  gallery-like,  attracting
           people to get closer to appreciate it,
           while  more  imagination is  introduced
           in between such obscurity. The design
           transformation of the “(Gourmet)·shy
           table”  responds  to  the  brand’s  tone  and
           concept--modesty, low profile, delicacy
