As a result, we use rocks, timber and steel, the most fundamental geological and natural materials, as the dominant essentials for Good Grain Kitchen & Café, so as to emphasize the simple and natural cooking methods of light meals.

The construction and combination of solid geometrical patterns give shape to the facade at the front entrance, creating an expansive field of vision. The space emphasizes the feeling of freedom, relaxation and tranquility. The steel and timber structures work together to produce the effect of stretching and expanding the top surface.
It gives full play to the deconstructionism philosophy of the 1950s and 1960s, and focuses on the local characteristics of the space. Besides, the independent features of all components separate local parts from the three-dimensional space.
Here, diners can discover rich spatial relationships, interpret the physical feelings for dining created by the details of the components, and enjoy the process.
