The Design

About Taniroku Saka 曲奇店

谷六坂提供多款配茶甜點。設計概念以「山頂雲海」為主題，靈感源自想像一邊俯瞰雲海、一邊品茶享用甜點嗰種奢華體驗同清爽感覺。店舖位於真田山山丘之上,因武士領主真田曾喺度建城而得名。雖然山丘高度有限,稱唔上係真正嘅山,但始終係山頂位置,設計師便由此意象演化出相關設計概念。

Behind the Design

Unique Properties: Taniroku Saka offers an assortment of desserts to accompany tea time. The design concept “a sea of clouds at the mountaintop” was developed by imagining the luxurious experience and brisk feel of having tea with sweets while overlooking a sea of clouds. The site of the shop is situated on a hill called Mt. Sanada because a samurai lord Sanada built a castle there. The hill is unfortunately too low to be called a mountain. Yet it is a hilltop, so the designers evolved the image and came up with the concept.
Inspiration: The most distinctive feature is the sales stands that occupy the entire sales floor. Aisles for staff are minimized, prompting the staff to serve customers outside. This sales style was inspired by the greengrocer and the fish shop nearby. The designers noticed they always stay in their storefronts to serve customers, adding a lively vibe to the neighborhood. They thought such assertive marketing instead of waiting for them to come in could be more appropriate for this neighborhood.
