Undoubtedly, the hospitality industry has seen a significant transformation in recent years, with a shift towards creating a more holistic experience for customers. The gaga brand, with its philosophy of "full-time hedonism," has taken this trend a step further by creating an oasis outside the busy urban life.

To achieve this, the exterior wall glass of the building was removed, forming a concave-convex relationship with staggered peaks on the facade. The transparent facade allows the external line of sight to better extend into the space, creating a semi-open community space that fosters social relationships between people.

The application of materials in space is mainly mild wood with green plants, transforming the relationship between people and things from the industrial attribute of the city to the natural attribute. This creates an oasis environment with scenes for the dining space, avoiding giving people a feeling of "efficiency" as much as possible.

The design of the built-in table shows diversity, meeting the dining needs of different groups in different time periods. The soft light just illuminates the dining area, creating a relaxed and natural dining atmosphere. The capture of light and shadow is the best record of the passage of time, reflecting the flow of time and space.

The design of the dining space meets the dining requirements and diverse social needs of different groups of people. The "oasis" located in the city provides a leisure space where people can enjoy all kinds of meals the whole time, responding to the variety of jobs and diversity of social needs.

The Gaga storefront's design presents a light dining and community-based cultural atmosphere, consistent with Gaga's brand philosophy of exploring a truly suitable lifestyle and finding inner balance and happiness. The ceiling's design highlights and strengthens the "complexity" of the smallpox pipeline system through the opening of the plate and the gap between the plates.
