Tea room interior with full-height glazing towards street. Biju Bubble Tea Rooms, London, United Kingdom. Architect: Gundry & Du

---

Envisaged as a modern day tea room. The design emphasizes the social aspects of drinking tea. Rather than conventional seating, an internal landscape was created that people can occupy as they choose. At the center of the room is the preparation kitchen, inspired by a cocktail bar, the idea was to display the raw materials and celebrate the theatre of the preparation of the tea. The use of natural cork in the interior refers to Biju’s use of only fresh natural ingredients, whilst the fun aspect of the drinks is reflected by the vibrant colours neon lighting and op art graphics which were developed in line with ICO’s Branding and graphics.
