The design was done simultaneously with the making of a children’s book, the Stump and Friends, to create a connection between children’s imaginative world and the physical experience. In the book, the places were an abandoned cave and a decaying tree stump where the animals helped to repair them back to life. The form and shapes seen in the exterior design reflect a tree stump (playground) and a cave (cafe) from the book. Little Stove cafe’s roof curvature follows the abstract contour of an umbrella; an extensive 4-meter canopy design is to provide comfortable shading that would encourage the use of outdoor seating bringing visitors closer to the outdoor garden overlooking the quiet waterway and the existing banyan tree.
