灰砖是它的外部材料的选择，因为它们是当地最常用的。它们的铺设方式强调水平平行线，增加了外墙的额外深度。两个朝南的玻璃开口，一个摆动的门和一个窗户带来了许多阳光，欢迎路人进入商店。

Grey bricks are the choice of material for its exterior as they are the most commonly used around this neighborhood locally. They are laid in a way that emphasizes the horizontal parallel lines adding an extra depth to the façade. Two south-facing glazed openings, a swinging door and a window bring in much sunlight and welcomes the passersby into the store.

长台阶状座位的三个步骤朝向街道成角度以便更好地观看。这些对角线也创建了一个三角形的拐角，具有足够的深度以种植一棵树。红砖覆盖地板和台阶。木质橱柜、架子和显示器放置在这些砖墙的顶部。

Three steps of long bench-like seating are angled towards the street for a nicer view. These diagonal lines also create a triangular corner with enough depth to plant a tree. Red bricks cover the floor and the steps. Wooden cabinets, shelves, and displays are placed on top of these brick walls.

原来的屋顶结构被挂在新增加的钢梁上的不锈钢网所覆盖。悬浮物表面部分显示了随着时间的推移而磨损的旧木龙骨。水泥墙把地面、天花板和木柜汇集在一起。咖啡厅在古老的传统空间中体现了一种现代的生活方式。

The original roof structures are covered by stainless steel mesh that hangs from the newly added steel beams. The suspended surfaces reveal partially the older wood joists that have worn out over time. Cement walls bring together the ground, the ceiling, and the wooden cabinets. Café Parallel embodies a modern lifestyle within the older traditional spaces.
