The current worlds’ pop culture is trending in Bandung, in which the youth is widely familiar to the cultural hype of the West, and one of it is the street culture. The client’s interest in basketball culture and streetwear has brought a vision to bring up a global culture into topics. Therefore, a world-famous Basketball field in New York, Rucker Park, was the major inspiration driving the design process targeted in flourishing a creative hub for the youth; where the basketball field lays a significant influence to cultural diversity growth in Harlem, New York.

In order to answer current urban life where time and productivity are mutually substantial, an area of coffee-to-go is provided while conjoining to the restaurant alongside.
