The term ‘PANDO,’ which means ‘I spread out’ in Latin, is also the name of a grove of aspen trees found in North America. This massive organism, made up of about 47,000 trees, actually spreads and reproduces from a single root, functioning as a single organism. Known as ‘the largest living organism in the world,’ PANDO appears to be made up of individual entities but shares a single essence and expands. This concept becomes an important narrative that explores the relationship between space and environment. The space, too, seems to exist in an independent form, yet it creates invisible connections with the surrounding environment through psychological narratives and sensory flows.

Upon entering, the brown-toned space gives the impression of being disconnected from the outside, naturally focusing the gaze inward. It encourages users to perceive the distant scenery at the end of the long entrance more vividly. The long counter and the columns on either side adjust the viewpoint, forming a natural flow, and at the point where the restricted view expands, the space offers a dramatic sense of openness through the difference in ceiling height.

The vertical cylindrical structure at the center of the space and the fabric lighting object above it broaden the sensory spectrum of the space and serve as a medium connecting the lake and the area. When seated, visitors experience a sense of harmony between the internal and external environments, as if they are crossing the boundary between the lake and the space.

The seating near the entrance uses calm-toned materials to create a private atmosphere, and the lighting is designed to allow for brightness adjustments in each area, reflecting the character of the space that transforms from a brunch restaurant during the day to a bistro at night. All furniture and lighting are custom-made to fit the space, and unnecessary lines are hidden to complete an orderly aesthetic that does not disrupt the flow of the space.
