Lounge/Live/Eat/Work
Perception is never the act of a single sense. Engage one sense and the others come into play. At the workplace, the cafe/lounge engages all five senses stimulated by ambience and the anticipated pleasures of taste. As a favorite destination designed for the persona of the community it serves, the café/lounge with a welcoming vibe offers an array of opportunities—convenient nourishment; respite for decompression; social interaction and comradery; a place to work, collaborate, play, or simply chill. Take a peek at a few of our favorites below.
