The renovation of the ITSUMO dessert shop in Batam began as a collaborative renovation, aiming to challenge local architectural norms. This site's significance stems from it being the client's first store, which she originally designed herself. The renovation aimed to elevate architecture's perception within its typical 'ruko (shop-house) context, beyond just the retail space.
