There are coffee and music in the studio, where you can hope to make the building design become a part of life, or in the architectural design experience the joy of life, architectural design should not be a too serious and rigid work, where the architect's office space should allow people to relax, learn elegant work, with a calm state of mind to do research rather than blindly rush map and kept on the run.
