Not only does the interior layout allow for an interactive operation that encourages communication between staff and visitors, but the inviting atmosphere is also a representation of Macau's culture that welcomes tourists from all over the world. It is clear that extensive research and dedication has gone into the realization of this work, from the wall reliefs crafted from wooden pillars and suede material to the aluminum planks of various sizes to incorporate amplifiers and lighting systems. Soda Port is a remarkable work that has rightly earned the A' Interior Space and Exhibition Design Award.
