Located in Gaegun-myeon, Yangpyeong-gun, 

this village is the last stop of the Heukcheon stream before it becomes part of the Bukhan River.

Less touched by human hands, the area preserves the authentic rural atmosphere of Yangpyeong.

The sound of flowing and falling water can be heard gently in the background, and the low-rise buildings and nearby mountains allow an open view of the sky.
In this small village stands a café filled with the dreams of one artist.

This is where the owner was born and raised, in an old building constructed by their father.

Aged structures, rusted steel, and timeworn concrete walls remain, layered with stories from the past to present.

The space captures the warmth of sunlight, the scent of the breeze, and the sound of quiet water — all key to the sense of place.
It reflects the brand identity as a space for “peaceful rest” and introduces new vitality without erasing the traces of time — a design built on sensitivity to the era.

Yeong-eo-ji-rak (泳漁之樂) — the joy of a fish swimming freely.
Its happiness lies in being a part of nature, immersed in the environment and able to fully enjoy it.

The natural swimming motion of a fish, the embodiment of nature, the warmth of sunlight, the gentle wave and ripple of water, and the cool breeze —
All of these elements come together to allow every visitor to experience the space like a fish in the Heukcheon stream.

With each step, one swims slowly through the thoughtfully arranged space, with time to reflect.

The black fabric ceiling reflects the flowing stream through a new visual language.
Its translucency reveals silhouettes of others moving above, creating a dynamic spatial curiosity.

The mirrored black walls reflect both reality and illusion, deepening the viewer’s immersion in the experience.

As visitors walk through the space, slowly and gently as if swimming, they observe both themselves and others —
A space where actions and presence create a shared emotional narrative.

This is a place where everyone becomes the protagonist in a spatial harmony of presence and absence, substance and void.

On the second floor, white pebbles and large stones are scattered between seats, providing a calm, meditative space.

In contrast, stepping outside opens up a panoramic view of the landscape and sky.
Water droplets from the Heukcheon stream hit the surface, creating soothing ripples, accompanied by the clear metallic sound of water, wind, and air —
a sensory language that resonates through the space.

This tranquil environment offers an emotional experience —
a place to slowly walk, reflect, feel the warmth of sunlight, hear the flowing water, and rediscover the meaning of rest amidst a busy, tiring life.
