TEA WELL is dedicated to creating innovative space experiences based on pure tea and a unique Oriental aesthetic lifestyle. Whether it's the physical spaces or the products, they convey the founder's passion for and exploration of contemporary Oriental aesthetics. The essence of the brand lies in the acceptance of time. RUHAUS STUDIO has taken on the design of TEA WELL's fifth store, and synchronously reimagined and upgraded the space style to complement the updated product line. Creating spaces in the urban environment that integrate Oriental aesthetics and natural experiences requires us to trace back to the origins of traditional Chinese painting. We strive to rediscover the Eastern way of observing nature that resonates with the Eastern mindset. By bringing this approach into the lives of today's young people, we aim to establish a harmonious connection between space and emotions, and reconstruct a better Oriental world that invites exploration.

The design of the double-eave serves two purposes. On one hand, it filters and controls the abundant summer sunlight in Shenzhen. On the other hand, it creates a framed view, evoking a sense of transcendence. The suspended design conceals the structural forces, ensuring unobstructed views both inside and outside. At the same time, it shields the external high-rise buildings, leaving only a horizontal axis as the prominent visual focus. We Intentionally establishing bold color accents in the space creates focal points for wandering gazes. The presence of weathered wood and black cobblestones paradoxically enhances the space's sense of relaxation and breathability, allowing people to forget the noise just beyond the wall and immerse themselves in the tranquility of the present moment. In the central position, A tea table of extraordinary scale is placed, aiming to enhance the tea-drinking experience with a sense of ceremony derived from traditional aesthetics. Echoing the tea terrace is a suspended long lamp, drawing inspiration from the structure and form of traditional lanterns, but with an unconventional size. The subtle curves of the lines add a touch of charm to the wide horizontal expanse.
