The bespoke aluminium-brick façade draws on the historic grain of surrounding alleyway houses and brick public housing, extending that material language through specially crafted masonry. The colour is a precise Bordeaux red, drawn from Guangming’s classic ice brick ice cream, translating a shared cultural memory into a tactile architectural texture. At the entrance, red aluminium panels are composed with lightness and precision, avoiding the heaviness of traditional brickwork while retaining warmth and familiarity. Crisp white canopies complete the composition, reinterpreting the shading elements of old breakfast shops as a contemporary streetscape installation.
