CONCEPT PRECEDENT
Project: To Tsai Tea Room
Location:Athina, Greece
Architects: Georges Batzios
Area: 120 m2
Year: 2015
This project offers a tea room services with a retail shop and a light oriented specialities restaurant
in the same space. The ornament free minimilastic details of the interior spaces combined with the
wonderful odor palette of the teas and the soft music are creating Zen universe that residents or
tourist can immerse into away from the noisy part of the city.
I like the colour palette of this project as it’s very neutral and calm. There arent any harsh and
rough materials that could disrupt the harmony. Also, my existing building has joists and beams
which I do not intend to remove. So I’d like to take advantage and include it into my design. This
project allows me to imagine how I can do that.
