Since SUNG's first location on Meicun Road, passionate red and effortless white have defined the brand. The design strategy has always centered on one question: what do the people here desire? In Meicun, we created a romantic encounter for a young crowd — bold red as the spatial keynote, softened by neutral ivory for breathing room. At Hanshin Intercontinental, where families and weekends set the pace, the aspiration shifts toward a leisurely foreign afternoon wrapped in warmth. Inspired by Ricardo Bofill, whose bold palette always stays rooted in place and people, we carried that human-centered spirit forward — softening the red to an earthy, textured brick tone that turns a corner into sun-washed expanses of ivory. Nothing more. Just enough warmth to land.

In a department store, boundaries between brands blur and openness is the norm. The question becomes: how do you create intimacy within a shared space? Drawing from the Spanish Patio — an outdoor living room where neighbors gather, sheltered yet connected — we shaped the interior with undulating half-walls, arched openings, and planted clusters that balance flow with privacy. Light from the mall filters through the arches like afternoon sun, casting a rhythm of shadow and warmth across the space.

Strategy, in the end, lives in material. Meicun's sleek, polished surfaces speak to youth and impulse. Here, we chose rougher, more natural textures — handmade clay tiles with uneven surfaces, warm tones, and visible craft — to meet a family audience seeking comfort over spectacle. Light bends along these surfaces and curved edges, revealing something that feels less like a restaurant and more like a sun-lit Southern European corner you once wandered into on a trip abroad, on that one afternoon you weren't rushing anywhere — perhaps the clearest memory you'll carry ten years from now.
