TEA WELL

This is the second store we have designed for TEA WELL.

We concern about how people feel here. We focus on making people feel chill in the area instead of too much elements and over decorative.Feeling comfortable is the only purpose here, it is the begging of all...


Different from so many traditional teahouse or new-style bubble tea shops, TEA WELL intend to make a place to attract young people but won't lose its quality of sensibility. "Urban Sense" emphasizes "locality", is based on a full understanding and respect for lifestyles of people in the city. The "Oriental Sense" is the inheritance and reproduction of culture, the core keynote as important as the soil, and also the secret for local brands to maintain their uniqueness in the process of going global.

This project is a single building located in UPPER HILL. The building has a L-shaped corner is facing the wide open square, but it is dark inside, and it should have a better connection with the outside world. The first change we made was to open up the closed wall of the facade to bring in natural lighting. At the same time , we set the bar counter at the corner, so that both outdoors and indoors can have more connections through the counter.

The core of urban life is socializing. The point of "Urban Sense" is the planning of spatial order and the creation of a social atmosphere. The bar plays a very important role, not only a place for ordering, making and display, but also an excellent place for the brand to interact with customers and increase their social atmosphere. Around the bar counter, we brought the garden into the interior. The well-arranged green plants divide the space into several small space through a distributed layout. Different from the heavy ritual feeling of traditional teahouses, which makes people daunting, or the cheap fast food feeling of milk tea shops, TEA WELL tries to find a balance between the two. "Affinity and delicacy" is the ideal state we are pursuing.

The focus of "Oriental Sense" is to feel. We are not just repeat the traditional decorative patterns, but to modernize the "Oriental sense" engraved in the genes. We believe that "light, hazy, and mysterious" belongs to the oriental feeling of TEA WELL. We painted everything with uniform material, including walls, ceilings, seats, cabinets, etc., first of all, the paint gives the space a quiet and unified tone; the diffuse light system, including simulated skylight, and cable-style line lights , gives the space a soft and rich layering; the translucent fabric presents a unique jelly texture, swaying with the wind; the blurred "TEA WELL" pattern looms on the light box...

All designs emphasize "feeling", and we think "feeling" is much more interesting than "style".
