'Preppy' is also the etymology of the preppy look. It refers to students or teenagers attending expensive private schools in the eastern United States, and the look they wear is called a 'preppy look'. However, today's space is not a story of space only for such a specific class. As a result of visiting the land of Cheongju for the first time, all the spaces appear in surprise like gifts. Among the gifts, today's space is located on an embarrassing road like a surprise gift, so you can enjoy the fun more from the moment you enter.

It is a space placed on a small piece of land attached to the roadside with the back of the mountain, the boundary between the city center and the downtown area. As soon as I arrived, I realized that the space was already being used well enough to be crowded with many people. When I talk about a space called a cafe, I tend to like a space that is well used by all the different classes rather than a specific class, but today's space remains as a beautiful memory.
-
It is shaped like a red box. To be more specific, the shape of the cubic space is accurate, as if it were drawn in perspective from a person's point of view. A slanted wall that appears from the floor as the four corners of the ceiling of the space protrude here and there. It is expected to appreciate the depth of the window created by the different positions of the corners of the floor and the ceiling. A space where two boxes are placed side by side. I imagined that if I saw it in summer, it would look like two gift boxes in front of a tree with a lush mountain behind.
-
The entrance is found by entering the space between the two boxes. 'It's the moment you finally open the gift'.
-
We finally enter that mysterious and warm space, as if it was reddish-red. The space you enter is as warm as the exterior of the space. The warm sunlight coming through the deep windows creates dramatic scenes in the space. People who bring out the sense of volume in depth with the light create a scene of space as if it were a photograph. Thousands of people had already entered the gift box to retrieve it.

There are various types of 'mothers with children, those with friends, students with their parents, and couples'. In essence, when these types of users are diverse, both 'geographical conditions' and 'scale conditions' must be satisfied.
-
After all, 'gifts are something everyone loves'.

The space was like a gift to me. Neither the slanted walls and the roof of the exterior were decorative. As it is in the shape of the exterior, the space becomes lower as it enters. Each corner has a different height, so the length and depth of the incoming light vary, and the perception of the space continues to change depending on the height of the ceiling. The seats in the low ceiling gave a cozy feeling, and the seats in the high ceiling were filled with rich warmth. There are different types of seats. There are basic table seats, a seat on the wall, a seat under the ceiling, and a hall table in the middle. Although it is not large, the owner of this space knows that 'everyone will like a gift regardless of class', so he provides a variety of seats within the largest possible size. The same goes for other dongs. Although it is slightly smaller, the sense of space is still the same.

It was like a gift I met while getting to know the city of Cheongju.
