Project Description

A tea stall is more than just a place for tea-it is a gathering spot where villagers once met under ancient trees to share stories and discuss local matters. Rooted in tradition, these stalls have evolved, becoming a cherished part of urban life. Amid the city's rush, they remain quiet sanctuaries where the aroma of brewing tea lingers, conversations flow, and time slows down, if only for a moment.

Our goal is to design a tea stall that harmonizes tradition with modern urban life. Inspired by the essence of traditional tea stalls, it will serve as a community hub, fostering conversation and connection. Contextual and cultural values will guide the design,ensuring a familiar yet contemporary experience. Sustainability will be at its core, incorporating eco-friendly materials, energy-efficient solutions, and minimal environmental impact. This blend of heritage and innovation will create a welcoming retreat amidst the city's hustle, offering urban users a place to pause, interact, and savor a moment of tranquility over a warm cup of tea.
