Text description provided by the architects. Shanghai is considered to be one of the cities with the largest number of cafes in the world. This phenomenon is partly due to the rapid expansion of large coffee chains, but there are also many independent cafes. We have designed several independent cafes, one of which is SPOKE BEVERAGE ROOM, a project we completed last year. This cafe is located on the ground floor of a building adjacent to a park in the center of Shanghai. Though it is next to a park, there is a stone wall and a wooded area in front of the store, which can be described as the "back" of the park. Therefore, although it is located in the center of the city, it is far from the hustle and bustle and has a relaxed and free atmosphere with no restrictions.
