Teawood Central Walk

Transforming a Cafe into a Study Studio

The design of Teawood Central Walk sets it apart from other cafes. The double volume architecture is transformed into a study studio, with giant columns and refreshing outdoor furniture that catch the eye of pedestrians passing by. The modern, simple, and minimalist design radiates a sense of calm, while the wood and stone elements add a touch of warmth and simplicity. The space is adorned with wooden shelves integrated into the walls, creating a library-like setting that adds artistic and aesthetic beauty.

The cafe provides different seating options, including tables for one, benches, and sofas, catering to various group sizes. This versatility has made Teawood Central Walk a hot spot in the district.

The design realization of Teawood Central Walk utilizes oak wood and a grey color palette, reflecting a modern, simple, and clear style. The minimalist design aims to create a personal peaceful moment through simple, tranquil, humble, and low-profile space scenes. The integration of a self-served purchasing system allows visitors to immerse themselves in a comfortable and library-like experience.

The location of Teawood Central Walk in Shenzhen, China, adds to its appeal. The project was completed by Vincent Chi-wai Chiang and Ms. Susanna Wong, who ensured that the interior architecture was adjusted to visually even out the ceiling height of the double volume space.

The design of Teawood Central Walk was based on field studies and historical research of library and study studio interiors and exteriors. The objective was to create a comfortable area that provides spiritual inspiration to users. The result is a peaceful and enjoyable environment that reduces the scene of indifference between people.

Teawood Central Walk was awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2018 for its outstanding and creatively ingenious design. The award recognizes designs that incorporate best practices in art, science, design, and technology, contributing to quality of life improvements and making the world a better place.
