Challenge

concept

“Tea House Pavilion” - The Tea House Pavilion commands a prominent position at the forefront of the interior, serving as a traditional architectural centerpiece with a modern twist to captivate patrons within an immersive experience of tea and dim sum ceremonies.

SOLUTION

Enveloped by meticulously crafted bamboo elements, this focal point creates an environment seamlessly merging the lively ambiance of a curated shopping journey with the serene pleasure of tea-sipping, offering a harmonious contrast between bustling activity and tranquil relaxation.

OUTCOME

Bamboo elements derived from tea mats create a spatial design which eloquently amplifies the essence of tea culture, establishing intimate zones for aficionados. As patrons explore further into the pavilion, the inversed architectural skeleton around and above subtly guides them towards the concealed kitchen, hidden behind ornate traditional Chinese gate doors adorned with intricate architectural motifs, providing an enticing glimpse into the expertise of master chefs at work.
