Discover the transformation of a traditional building into a modern tea shop in Nantou County, TW, as MUYU Design blends old and new to create Sunmoon TeaShop.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
MUYU Design, led by Yu-Ting Chen, has brought a unique vision to life with the Sunmoon TeaShop, a space that seamlessly integrates traditional building materials with modern design elements. The design retains the existing roof tiles and loess bricks, blending them with modern materials like rusted iron, solid wood, and concrete floors. The result is a 45-square-meter indoor space and a 24-square-meter outdoor area equipped with a bar, seating area, sales area, and toilets.
The design's unique features include the integration of existing wooden beams into the solid wood tables and the use of plants on the solid wood handle to indicate whether the store is open. The project, which began in May 2018 and was completed in August 2019, is a testament to MUYU Design's commitment to blending old and new while honoring local traditions.
Recognized for its creativity and ingenuity, Sunmoon TeaShop has been awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in the Interior Space, Retail, and Exhibition Design category. This prestigious accolade celebrates designs that authentically showcase experience and resourcefulness, contributing to quality of life improvements.
