Choui Fong Tea Café

Choui Fong Tea Café

Description

Choui Fong Tea Café is located in a tea plantation covering huge hills. Instead of standing on the hilltop, the architect decided to lay the buildings hiding in the hill to keep a 360-degree view. At the rooftop, visitors could observe farmers picking up tea leaves during the day. Composing of three zones; dining and café, tea shop, and toilets, the Café comes with challenging structure, as we’ve seen, only one pile bears an entire floating and outreaching building.


Statement of the jury

The guest area of this tea café affords breath-taking views, as it is located in the middle of a tea plantation. The interior appointments take their cue from the cubic form of the structure – and form an ensemble with it. Wood creates warmth and a relationship with nature. A beautiful design whose clarity and harmony create the perfect backdrop for the enjoyment of tea.
