Built for an escapist place from the bustling day in the city, the interior is designed with a warm and friendly atmosphere by putting several circular seating areas, fostering intimate discussion at every turn of the room. With those circular seating areas, this place allows visitors to choose their seating areas and create their own private space. The dynamic layout seamlessly integrates these circular spots with the kitchen and other areas, ensuring fluid and open circulation.

The circular and meandering design offers a distinctive experience from every angle of the building. The existing columns combined with the newly built walls create several tiny gaps between them and frame the captivating view outside, wiping out the boundaries between the inside and outside. The bamboo trees are arranged evenly outside the building, allowing sunlight to filter through, casting enchanting shadows inside the building.

The interior's dominant red tones, harmonizing with white furniture, create a bright and cheerful atmosphere, stimulating the release of dopamine and boosting visitors' moods. This burst of red extends to the exterior, forming a striking contrast with the surroundings and attracting anyone passing by to experience The Merlot Pods' unique charm.
