The ceiling is decorated with tube element which extends from the entry to the deepest interior space and connects the yellow box and black box .It reaches the deepest place of the space, just like the burst of taste and texture when we drink soft drinks.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: The project is a fashionable brand drink store whose target customers are mainly fashionable youths, and brand image is fashion, health and vigor. The client hopes that the image of concept store can pass the brand core spirit. After preliminary analysis, the designers keep looking for elements so as to create an interesting design. Through investigation of the site and seeking and selection of elements, "childhood happiness" is set as the starting point of the design. A toy or a soft drink can make us happy all day in the 1980s when we were children. As a result, the pleasure of drinking soft drink is the design element, which is in line with the brand images and the local people's memories.
CHALLENGE: The most difficult part of the design is to create a project that has commercial and communication values, based on the status of brand. Nowadays, most people prefer to go shopping in the mall, where the flow and consumption level are incomparable to the old urban district. So it is very challenging to create an attractive project under such conditions.
