About Sunmoon Tea Shop
Sunmoon is a tea shop in Nantou County, Taiwan. The indoor space covers 45 square meters and the outdoor space covers 24 square meters. The layout includes a bar, a seating area, a sales area and toilets. Existing roof tiles and loess bricks were kept and combined with modern materials. Rusted iron, solid wood and concrete floors are the main materials. Part of the solid wood table is joined with old wooden beams. H-beams reinforce the wall where an opening was cut between two warehouses. Plants on a solid wood handle show whether the shop is open.

Interviews
Design Interview
What is the main principle, idea and inspiration behind your design?
This project is converted from a 70-year-old storage room.These loess bricks have a history of 70 years and are also the main building materials preserved in this case. Carefully keep the loess bricks cut from the hole, and designed the bar counter facade, also that countertop use solid wood to increase the warmth of the space. The designer hope to preserve the traces of times from the exterior to the interior.
What has been your main focus in designing this work? Especially what did you want to achieve?
The loess brick is a special material for this case. Because it is difficult to make again, I want to use this material to represent the idea of inheritance from ancient times to the present.

I hope that in the future, there will be more traditional craftsmanship and materials, which can be preserved through design.
