Architecturally, SlowStudio.cn crafted a semi-circular skylight on the roof to introduce natural light during the day. On a bright sunny day, the opening gives a playful pattern on the wall depending on the time of the day. At night, this skylight provides an excellent view for stargazing, immersing people in the dreamy starlight.
Lotta Cangsong Store has operated since 2017 and is one of the earliest boutique street coffee shops in Shenzhen.
