To maintain a calm and serene feeling, three floors are connected to each other with steel stairs and the entrance and upper levels are connected with each other by demolishing the concrete floor to have a high ceiling at the entrance and on the back to have a winter garden. This also helped natural ventilation at the spring and summer time. Therefore, no AC is located at the restaurant.
