About Shanmu Store Retail Space

Shanmu Store is a retail space for a Taiwanese wedding cookie brand in Taichung City. The store covers 58 square meters indoors and 39 square meters outdoors, and includes a product display area, a counter, two balconies and a restroom. Traditional Taiwanese building materials are combined with contemporary ones. Hexagonal mosaics on the floor represent flowers, and an island of solid wood forms the presentation area. Cabinet doors use rattan weaving. Vintage brick grilles divide the tasting booths and let natural light pass through.
