Design Details

Unique Properties
Touch Tea promotes the continual and inclusive re-connection of people's actual feelings. The open, dispersed area brings cubism into architecture and presents it in a contemporary, original style, fostering greater contact and interaction that may accommodate the various needs of young people, including meeting, sharing, and discussing.
Inspiration
Here, art, technology, and texture come together to create Touch Tea's fundamental value, so that it can depict Tianjin's cultural milieu. Above all, the goal of the design is to build an inviting and avant-garde urban environment where people can fully immerse themselves in daily life.
Research
Technology has made it possible for each and every architectural detail with human care. Sophisticated intelligent curtain and light control systems carefully monitor everyone's mood as the indoor color temperature subtly shifts over time. The 6 meters by 3 meters of large P2.0 full-color high-brush LED panel and the BOSE surround sound background music work together, creating a great spatial echo. Without saying, we can sooth our inner heart here.
Challenge
The unpredictability, alienation and nihility of human relations created by modernity are inherent conflicts. Touch Tea does not sidestep these conundrums; rather, it applies them to space experience, object change, subjective perception, and light and nature. Eventually, it gently resolves the inconsistencies using tea as the medium and architecture as the source of inspiration. The principal's constant quest of beauty and commitment to social responsibility can be seen under the atmosphere.
Realization and Technology
The main materials in this project are water washed stone, red brick, stainless steel, KD modified plate.
Operation and Interaction
Unquestionably, the TOCOO Doku unique IP image is a potently symbolic and personally expressed statement of youth. In addition to conveying the novel and fashionable sensory enjoyment, it also demonstrates the brand's varied aesthetics and establishes a distinctive space style. It does this by utilizing avant-garde and innovative expression forms to impact infinite vitality, deconstructing and connecting the current artistic trend.
Project Duration and Location
The project started in August 2022 in Tianjin and finished in October 2022 in Tianjin.
Specifications
The project covers a total of 300 square meters.
