Le Temps Café

This project is a limited-time dine-in café designed to create a moment of pause within a fast-paced urban environment. Located between a cultural landmark and a busy commercial mall, the site lacks spaces that encourage slowing down and emotional transition. By integrating European classical structure with the calm spatial language of Japanese tea rooms, the design reorganizes a narrow plan through diagonal zoning and a looped circulation. Users experience varied seating atmospheres and a sense of temporal depth.
