Cycle&Cycle Stone-oven Bakery Restaurant / Tens Atelier + FANAF

Valeria Silva — Fri, 17 Apr 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The project site is located in the western mountainous area of Shangwang Village, Shaoxing, Zhejiang Province, hidden among bamboo groves and farmlands. The building was originally constructed in the 1970s as a rural auditorium supporting Nixon's visit to China, carrying a distinct historical background. In 2022, Cycle&Cycle acquired the usage rights to the building and commissioned FANAF to carry out renovation and reconstruction. After completing the initial updates to the building and landscape, the project was temporarily put on hold due to overall environmental changes. It was not until 2025, when the brand decided to transform it into a rural stone‑kiln workshop, that the project was restarted, with the interior redesign entrusted to Tens Atelier.

Sunrise Garden Restaurant / M9 Design Studio

Miwa Negoro — Sat, 04 Apr 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Located within an industrial suburb of Bangalore, Sunrise Garden Restaurant emerges as a quiet counterpoint to its context — transforming a previously utilitarian structure into a layered spatial experience rooted in the idea of the garden as a place of pause, gathering, and imagination. Conceived as an urban oasis, the project explores how architecture can introduce softness, greenery, and sensory calm within an otherwise rugged industrial landscape.

Cinnamood - Specialty Coffee / Kidz Studio

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 27 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Cinnamood is an international coffee shop chain specializing in cinnamon rolls and specialty coffee, known for its strong visual identity and distinctive spatial concept. The café is located at Carrer de l'Argenteria, 61, in the historic Ciutat Vella district, in El Born, next to the Basilica of Santa Maria del Mar, within a building from the first half of the 20th century embedded in the dense medieval urban fabric.

Gio Kitchen Atelier / NMDM.ARQ - Nádia Manssur

Susanna Moreira — Thu, 26 Mar 2026 15:00:00 +0000

The project transforms an old house in the Pinheiros neighborhood of São Paulo into a hybrid space that combines an industrial kitchen, a creative studio, and an event area. Completed in 2025, the project was developed for a chef whose work blends authorial gastronomy, artisanal production, and collaborations with major brands.

HOOD Café / Ponomarenko Volodymyr

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 25 Mar 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Warsaw's HOOD represents an exercise in duality across 108 square meters. Located at 37 Poznańska Street, the space operates on a continuous cycle, seamlessly transforming from morning coffee service to evening sets. The project consciously eschews decoration, offering instead a dialogue between raw materiality and surgically precise geometry, where calm and dynamism coexist.

Lakeside Restaurant at Silk Road Friendship Park / THAD SUP Atelier

Pilar Caballero — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 00:00:00 +0000

The project is located in the core landscape area of the Silk Road Friendship Garden at the Dingzhou Garden Expo. The overall landscape design of the garden centers on the theme of auspicious clouds, with a circular landscape boulevard connecting the entire garden and a centripetal layout creating a diverse array of scenes. Among them, the restaurant unfolds gently along the curved shoreline of the central lake, its woven wooden structure forming a free and stretching curved form that resembles the undulating forest canopy. Blending seamlessly with the surrounding natural environment, it appears as if dancing gracefully.

Gangnam q.d.c / Indiesalon

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 22 Mar 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Our recent project, 'q.d.c', reimagines a small café tucked within one of Gangnam's dense office clusters as a place of pause and reflection — a "second office" for those who move to the rhythm of work. The name takes inspiration from the medical abbreviation *qd*, meaning "once a day," here reinterpreted as Quick Daily Coffee — a ritual celebrating everyday productivity and calm.

Monologue Café / SOSOKKI ANAC

Miwa Negoro — Thu, 19 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Monologue – A Walker in Time's Soliloquy originates from a speculative narrative imagining that the Earth has undergone a reset. The project begins with a simple question: if an ancient civilization once existed before this reset, and a monastery had been built within that forgotten world, what architectural form might it have taken?

Petti Restaurant / Wallmakers

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 17 Mar 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Tuticorin, a port city, has been the center of maritime trade for the last 2000 years. The sheer number of shipping containers discarded in the city made us combine two materials that are usually not combined: steel and mud.

Dala Restaurant / Znamy się

Hadir Al Koshta — Wed, 04 Mar 2026 13:00:00 +0000

In Kraków's Kazimierz district, we designed a restaurant that transports guests into the atmosphere of Sweden. Its name, Dala, refers to the traditional wooden horse, dalahäst, which for centuries has been given during celebrations as a symbol of happiness and festivity. Just like the horse, the restaurant is meant to live by the rhythm of celebration, from everyday fika, through the summer festival of Midsommar, to evening gatherings in the spirit of mingel. The project was created for the founders of Kaffe Bageri Stockholm, who decided to move beyond the café formula and create a place where Swedish traditions could be experienced in a fuller and more atmospheric way.

Terminal Kadıköy / Tabanlioglu Architects

Pilar Caballero — Tue, 24 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

Located on the Anatolian side of Istanbul, Kadıköy is a vibrant district known for its inclusive, democratic atmosphere. With a population of approximately 500,000, it sits directly across from the historic peninsula and has long served as one of Istanbul's key recreational and cultural hubs.

Eventide Coffee / Billboards

Miwa Negoro — Sat, 21 Feb 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Flanked by the sea on one end of the site, Eventide Coffee is truly and well blessed by abundant eastern light. Uninterrupted views and the constant presence of the sea become the quiet narrators of the space, shaping what is both a passion project and a place of pause. The café emerges as an intuitive response to site, climate, and context. "From the beginning, the brief was never about creating a statement café," the architects share, "It was about facilitating calm, something that felt natural to the place and its people."

Niko Restaurant / Gaya Sofoyan

Hadir Al Koshta — Fri, 13 Feb 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Niko Restaurant is located in the city center of Yerevan, Armenia, within a building originally designed during the Soviet period by architect Nikoghayos Buniatyan. The client's brief called for a comfort-food restaurant interior developed within a very limited budget and a tight timeframe.

Susanna Moreira — Mon, 09 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 08 Feb 2026 17:00:00 +0000

Set against a dramatic natural backdrop, this Peacock café in Ha'il redefines contemporary Arabian hospitality by weaving handcrafted interiors around a courtyard carved directly into a real rock formation.

REST Garden Restaurant / Pezo von Ellrichshausen

Valentina Díaz — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 03:00:00 +0000

Cornered against a protected forest, on a gentle slope that overlooks a lush botanical garden, there is a bold infrastructure, a mute monument, almost without memory, function and scale. The building is meant to host culinary activities; from intimate, informal dines to large social events. Supported by a generous specialized kitchen totally buried underground, the building challenges the archetype of an open plan.

Chongqing Luxerivers Café / Wide Horizon + Epiphany Architects

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Thu, 05 Feb 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Chongqing is a city shaped by the continuous interplay between mountains and water. Its complex topography overlaps with a dense infrastructural network, where elevated roads, steep terrain, and waterfronts together form a highly charged urban landscape. Located at the convergence of these conditions, the Luxi Lake Café is conceived as a small architectural insertion that responds to the relationships between urban infrastructure, natural geography, and everyday public life through a light and restrained spatial intervention.

Dining Above the Depot / mtthw

Miwa Negoro — Wed, 04 Feb 2026 19:00:00 +0000

This renovation transforms a former residence into a restaurant while preserving traces of its residential use accumulated over time. In the renovation of existing architecture, the act of design is always situated between the past and the future. Unlike new construction, such projects already contain an accumulation of time, requiring the designer to engage in dialogue with the memory of the space. Beyond physical information such as changes in form, materials, and spatial configuration, carefully reading the traces of everyday life once lived there holds significant meaning when envisioning a new spatial reality.

Masseria Caronte / Margine

Valeria Silva — Thu, 29 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Caronte is the restoration project of a farmhouse in the Salento countryside, completed by Margine in 2025. In the lands between Lecce and Vernole, surrounded by olive trees and just a few kilometers from the sea, stands Masseria Caronte, a rural home where sheep were once raised and wool and yarn were produced. Over the years, after numerous businesses and years of abandonment, the structure underwent a major renovation and conversion into a restaurant in 2024. Commissioned by a group of young local entrepreneurs, Margine proposed a project aimed at eliminating the numerous additions that had occurred over time and restoring the factory's ancient charm.

Noon Repose Pavilion / CLAB Architects

Andreas Luco — Tue, 27 Jan 2026 07:00:00 +0000

Background — The Noon Repose Pavilion is located on the bank of a rural river in Huizhou, a city in southern China, along the scenic route encircling Nankun Mountain and Luofu Mountain. Huizhou was once a place of exile for the Northern Song scholar Su Shi. During his years there, exile did not result in withdrawal from life, but rather intensified his attention to its everyday rhythms. In his writings, he identified what he called the "sixteen pleasures of life," one of which he described as "resting at noon on a simple rattan pillow." The pavilion takes its name from this phrase. It is not intended as a nostalgic reference, but as a way of anchoring contemporary experience to a different understanding of time—one that allows for pause, slackening, and repose. What is recalled here is not a historical figure, but a mode of living that remains possible in the present.

Cafe. MADA in the Little Garden / BodinChapa Architects

Miwa Negoro — Mon, 26 Jan 2026 19:00:00 +0000

This architectural project represents a sanctuary of tranquility, an escape from everyday chaos, which forms the fundamental intention of the project owner to establish a long-term retreat for family members. A peaceful and undisturbed environment became the essential premise in the search for a site that could respond both to family living and to the potential for a complementary business. This vision ultimately gave rise to the café and future villa nestled within a lychee orchard, conceived as a place for rest, reflection, and quiet enjoyment.

P·P·BAKERY / Studio Tama

Miwa Negoro — Sun, 25 Jan 2026 21:00:00 +0000

Old buildings always carry traces of time. Rather than erasing them, P·P·Bakery begins by accepting these traces as its premise. The project focuses on deciding what to add on top of what already exists—its structure, materials, and accumulated layers of use.

Terraweave Estate (Tiantian) Coffee Drying Yard / Edge Architects

韩爽 - HAN Shuang — Sat, 24 Jan 2026 02:00:00 +0000

Parallel - The drying yard nestles on the mid-slope of Gaoligong Mountains' eastern flank in Mangkuan Yi-Dai Township. Aligned with the meridional Hengduan Ranges, it basks in prolonged sunlight from dawn to dusk. Enveloped by the mountain's primal grandeur, the new structure dissolves into the terrain with lightweight humility.

21-24 Nikkakjøkken Restaurant / OFFICE INAINN

Hadir Al Koshta — Tue, 20 Jan 2026 12:00:00 +0000

Function as an insert, not a rebuild - The original envelope remains; a lightweight core delivers the restaurant programme. Conceived as an independent module built entirely in timber, it is not intended to be immediately reversible in situ, but is designed for future demounting without harm to the historic shell.
