The specially designed black tile façade with large windows, custom stainless steel light fixtures, signage, outdoor seating areas, and entrance folding doors create a casual and stylish atmosphere for the building, while further blurring the boundaries between indoor and outdoor, so that anyone can sit down with a drink and swipe their phones to relax at any time.

Architecture is not only a way of seeing a city, but also a way of talking to it. —— Daniel Libeskind

Q.TEA is a new brand beverage store owned by Q Ge. Q Brother 3C is mainly engaged in iPhone trading, repair and peripheral products services. This case captures the entrepreneurial spirit of "sharing" of Brother Q and is inspired by the community "information station". We hope to share space, freshness, and beauty for residents, and pass on the service concept of Brother Q.

Q.TEA is located on the first floor of a small tin house in the Tainan Residential Cultural and Educational District. This tin building faces the road on both sides and is a typical triangular window base. The shop on the first floor has been used as a pharmacy for more than 20 years, but before the renovation, only the structure was retained, and the façade and interior parts were demolished in order to give the building in the city a new mission and positioning.

Black tiles are the main material for the façade, and the stainless steel and glass units are embedded to form large windows, entrances, and seating areas, providing many opportunities for the building itself to interact with the community. Especially at night, when the traffic is busy, the indoor lighting design will light up the surrounding area, and people passing by are welcome to have a drink at any time to relieve the fatigue of the day. This city monument, embellished with black jewels, not only fulfills the function of a beverage store, but also brings more expectations to the nearby residents for the significance of the community's "information station".

Inside, the upper and lower stainless steel arc design welcomes customers from all directions. The interior is divided into three areas, the work area, the interior area and the 3C area. The working area is a U-shaped stainless steel operating table, with a beverage making area on both sides, and a stainless steel floating light box corresponding to the operating table, which is full of science and technology, and makes people immediately attracted at the intersection.

The 3C area shares the mobile phone display that the company itself focuses on. The new iPhone is displayed on a display table with geometric blocks interspersed for an interactive experience. Antique iPhones are stored in a stainless steel custom cabinet on the wall, like a boutique column, for people to enjoy nostalgically. The design of each area hopes to reflect the details and texture to Brother Q's delicacy and dedication to the maintenance of 3C.

The interior space echoes the tiled floor with a grid-like ceiling, redefining the vertical horizontal. The luminous wall is used as a background to bring the texture of fashion technology into the space, combined with the display of mobile phones, and it can also be a very fashionable thing to drink and slide on your mobile phone.

Just like at the information station in the station, park, tourist scenic area. The project uses a similar metaphor to share the original concept of the building, the spirit of the information station, with people passing by.
