A boxy cube form, with grid-patterned glass windows enclosing all four facades. A ring of lantern-style pendant lights hangs above the work area, casting warm light onto the curved bar counter — the atmosphere is this version's most memorable feature.

The counter is shaped into a smooth curve, with the inner recess sized to fit one or two staff members at work. High stools line the outer edge, letting customers sit and watch the entire process, from preparation to serving, face to face. The grid-glass windows are large, letting in plenty of natural light while preserving a sense of structure on the facade.

This version suits businesses that want to create a sense of "lingering" — where customers are happy to sit and stay a while, such as specialty coffee, casual bars, or dessert shops that want more interaction time with their customers.
