Appreciation towards Jun Murata for providing the following description:

KBT咖啡厅位于历史悠久的奈良北部若草山下，这里有很多的町屋，佛教寺庙。设计的目的是要在这片历史区域创造出一个居民和游客的舒适休闲场所。改建的建筑是一个老旧的钢框架二层楼房，后面还有两个木质平房和一个小院子。

第一期将面宽4米，占地50平米的一楼改建成一个明晰温馨的咖啡厅和餐厅。未来，厨房后将装修两间榻榻米日式餐厅和一个位于南侧的有机农业园（为餐厅提供部分食物）。二楼将改建成为共享的艺术家工作室和讨论区。这里的布置简单纯粹，适宜各种人群在这里共享空间。许多具有年份的家具，灯具，摆设点缀着这个空间，这是一个让人们在历史区中悠然自得的放松场所。
