Indoor out: Restaurant is a concrete oasis

The high, transparent roof makes the space bright and airy, and the graffitied concrete walls complement the wood accents and green plants in every corner, giving off a concrete jungle vibe.

Three Buns provides a calm oasis away from the extreme heat in a city filled with high-rise buildings, traffic and smog. The rattan chairs and wooden platforms provide outdoor-like seating, giving the illusion that Three Buns is both inside and outside. The greenery and sunlight lend to the feeling of being in a jungle, away from any bustle. The menu by English chef Adam Penney features burgers with an Indonesian twist and payments are made at a camper van, heightening the outdoors aesthetic.

Nature escapes are popping up in cities, providing a green reprieve away from the intensity of urban living. For more, read our Greentopias microtrend.
