In theory; the design approach aimed at stimulating a theatrical character to the experience when visiting the café or simply walking through the atrium. The action inside the kitchen is explicitly framed by a canopy and a set of partitions that allow visual access from all directions.

The canopy is lifted by two transparent walls, each wall is composed of two steel columns and two glass panels with unfinished teak wood pyramids blocks in between (Three dimensional pattern). The glass panels augment the visual accessibility from both side of the cafe [Elevation 3, 4].
