Valley of Tea
Chinese Space and Tea Space is a tea shop interior covering 250 square meters. The first floor holds the product display and sales area, while the second floor contains a tea room and a salon training area. A large clear glass window acts as a viewfinder, revealing only part of the interior and inviting visitors inside. Natural materials define the design, with wood veneer and solid wood lines used throughout. The floor combines Chinese black marble with wood grain tiles, and plain cement contrasts with large white walls. The layout draws on southern Chinese garden style.
