GOOD NEWS Cafe is organised around the practical workings of a neighbourhood brunch venue. Bringing a New Zealand dining experience to Zhuhai involves balancing kitchen operations, customer occupation and the resources of a new business. Spatial order begins with service and everyday use.

A street-facing counter, glazing and outdoor seating bring the activity of the cafe towards the pavement. Steps and timber benches make the entrance an inhabitable edge, while booths, shared tables and counter seats accommodate different group sizes and lengths of stay.

Blue accents connect the awning and seating across the threshold. Timber and tile give the brand a tangible material expression. The cafe's identity emerges from the coordination of street life, service and surfaces that customers use directly.
