For the shape of the whole space, though we take factories of the Age of Steam as prototype, we kept only the most basic functional parts. We demolished the floor slabs in the original two storied space, and turn it into a space of 8 or 9 meters' high. We restored the ground space with a minimalist approach, and designed devices which offers new retail experience in the "reaction tanks". Consumers could have different new consumption experience brought by different devices in different tanks.
