Cha on Wheel

Project Description

Our tea stall design, which is located in Palashi Mor, close to Dhaka University and BUET, tackles the problems that local sellers in Bangladesh confront daily. The location has various drawbacks, including water supply, erratic electricity, a high danger of eviction, and insufficient customer seating.

Using locally accessible materials like bamboo, reclaimed metals, metal sheets, and wooden planks, our design approach prioritizes affordability, use, mobility, ease of maintenance, hygienic practices, and environmental sustainability.

We have incorporated a ceramic-based gravity filtration system and recycling system to combat the water shortage, allowing for continuous water reuse and minimizing the need for frequent collection. Strategically positioned gutters that collect rainfall and feed it into the purification process are another way that rainwater is collected.

In order to combat unstable electrical supply, our stall is outfitted with solar panels that capture renewable energy, which supply vital power for nighttime operations. In order to address the seating problem, we have included foldable chairs that are easy to store inside the stall and can be used when needed, providing patrons with a cozy area to unwind and sip tea. Additionally, the tea stall is made to be mobile in order to combat the danger of eviction. When conditions change, the vendor can quickly move the stall thanks to integrated wheels.

In addition to streamlining daily operations, this all-inclusive design offers a robust, eco-friendly solution that adjusts to the particular difficulties of traditional tea selling in Bangladesh. This creative strategy greatly empowers suppliers and enriches the community's vibrant daily social life.
