Space Dog – Yeonhui-dong cafe with a unique feeling that makes you feel as if you are leaving for outer space

spacedog-lobby-rock-2

It is a complex cultural space with the first art cinema in Yeonhui-dong, Leika, in the basement, and a cafe on the 1st and 2nd floors. The name Space Dog has the double meaning of space and dog/dock. A tribute to Laika, the dog who was the first to visit space, is palpable.

The feeling of the universe is conveyed intensely by the huge weight of the rock floating in the air. In addition, mirrors are installed so that the distance between the floor and the rock is not felt, so that the rock conveys the feeling of floating on the endless space more intensely. The concrete walls represent the surface of an unknown planet, and the interior combination of sleek silver material like a spaceship is wonderful.

Water is flowing in the space on the second floor, and you can hear the quiet sound of flowing water, as if announcing that there is life on a cold planet. The coupon shaped like a ticket to space conveys the feeling of having a drink before leaving for space. The rooftop feels like you're looking around from the highest hill on the planet after a spacecraft has landed. The blend coffee was also delicious.
