Minimalist pastry shop lures you in with curved tile facade

The striking storefront belies a softer dining space tucked inside Faced with designing a storefront into an awkward, recessed space, SAY Architects constructed a minimal yet intricate ?entry route? that connects the street to the Angelot Patisserie.
The architects fashioned the striking storefront in Hangzhou, China, from customized white tile that creates a smooth, curved pattern. The design slots into the matching facade like a glowing block, beckoning visitors to explore what?s inside.

Guests walk through the entryway and are guided through a display area on their way to the dining area, a hidden gem swathed in palette of creamy off-white and pale wood. Seating areas with clean-lined tables, chairs, and sofas are broken up by small lemon trees, which serve as a few natural space dividers.
The architects say they wanted to create a ?peaceful and gentle space,? and we think the result is just that.
