Restaurant Banjul
Banjul opens in Gwancheol-dong, named after the capital of The Gambia, its name stacked down the building. Live music on the second floor.

Tea for Two
The restaurant becomes a tea house, and the harp moves in. Kihwa plays between the tables for fourteen years.

The fire
A fire tears through the rooms. The harp burns. It was kept, and stands by the entrance still.

Reborn
Reopened as a cultural space: a café on three with 250 coffee grinders on one wall, live music and a gallery on four, a rooftop garden on five.
