Inspired by traditional elements, it integrates antique Chinese medicine cabinets and reclaimed materials to preserve cultural authenticity.

Native	鞣酒吧位於臺灣百年建築內，設計結合歷史與現代感，保留了清朝遺留的中藥櫃等古董家具，並融入舊材料以保持文化真實性。設計最大限度地保留了原建築結構，並通過環境光和層次分明的紋理來營造溫暖氛圍。入門把手採用舊式挑水扁擔，巧妙地連接了顧客與臺灣的傳統文化，打造出獨特的空間，使懷舊氛圍與現代優雅完美融合。由於建築本身年代久遠，設計團隊在施工中遇到極多挑戰。為了不破壞牆面和結構，在電路與排水系統上進行了隱藏式設計，利用地板的高低差來巧妙安置冰箱和設備所需的管線。團隊小心翼翼地刻意保留歷史元素，用巧思讓空間的功能與視覺體驗更為豐富。這個設計不僅延續了空間的歷史故事，更為顧客提供了一個沉浸式的體驗。進入酒吧後，顧客會被厚重的東方韻味與現代感相交融的氛圍包圍。懷舊風的沙發區，搭配復古窗花和長虹玻璃，創造出一個適合閱讀與放鬆的小包廂。燈光設計層次分明，劇場般的光影效果更增添了空間的魅力。透過沈浸式的設計營造出東方韻味與現代融合的獨特風格，同時讓空間充滿了故事。
