The Mua (Rain) Café, nestled at 28 Chau Thi Vinh Te Street, My An Ward, Ngu Hanh Son District, boasts its unique, strange and extremely attractive design.

Designed by architect To Huu Dung, the coffee shop is inspired from the Egyptian pyramids.

From the outside, the venue looks like a series of triangles that follow each other and are made of steel and baked bricks. However, instead of dry and ugly features, architect To Huu Dung has turned the venue into a cozy, magical and equally luxurious space.

He has designed two parallel lines, connected by a long zigzag line running through to create 3 complete pyramids. A line crossing the pyramid divides the coffee shop into two separate floors.

In addition, there is a magnificent space of the rooftop, dedicated to customers who want to enjoy the outdoor space. All railings and stairs of the coffee shop are also triangular in shape from zigzag lines with a narrower margin.

Unplastered walls create brick red tones for the entire building. The entrances to the venue are also triangular, with a single-ended design that allows light to reflect. Frames, stairs, and railings of the shop are all made of black-plated steel.

To get more sunlight for the shop, in addition to the perforated brick walls creating fancy light effects, architect To Huu Dung designs two eye-catching rectangular skylights.

Along with that, he cleverly integrates lamps of various types and sizes which are hung in long rows on the ceiling and around pots of plants.

At night, each table position has light reflected from rattan lamps. It can be said that the entire interior at the Mua Coffee is made of wood, rattan and bamboo. Square wooden tables are suitable for couples, rectangular tables for small groups and long rectangular tables for family groups.

In the middle of the warm, light-filled space are potted plants that bring a peaceful and cool green colour.

Like many other coffee shops in Da Nang, the Mua Coffee creates a highlight with coconut milk, coconut coffee, salted coffee, and others.

Also, it provides large open space for events and group meetings with speakers, mics and projectors.
