Article source: Office coastline For life-style brand “Genshang”, We designed their new tea house on Madang road, downtown of Shanghai. The client wishes to have a place for the slow life in contrast with the daily fast-paced life. We approached the project by making a gentle sequence, from the entrance shop, long tea bar, dining area to the lounge room at the end. The project is located on the 1st floor of a commercial complex. The main entrance is set up on the inner side of the shopping complex, framed by copper, another interpretation of their brand colour. The door is recessed and open to the side, in order to welcome the guest gently into the shop. The lower display, together with translucent fabric softly hides space behind, and shift the passage to the side.  Image Courtesy © Alessandro Wang

Above the counter, the half-vaulted ceiling with copper pendant lightings creates a cozy atmosphere. Behind the counter, we used uneven wall relief, which gives different expression according to the natural light. The main dining space is 4.8m high with exposed ceiling. We designed a table and chairs set like a round cake which can be stood for party or display for an event in the centre. The lounge room with vaulted ceiling is located on the deepest place from the main entrance. With folding doors, it suits for activities such as meeting, event and private party.
