THIS THAI RESTAURANT COMBINES THE IDENTITY OF A TRADITIONAL TEA HOUSE WITH A NAME INSPIRED BY THE MEANING OF FLOWERS. THE SPACE SERVES BOTH TRADITIONAL TEA AND FLORAL TEA, CREATING A CONNECTION BETWEEN THAI FOOD, TEA CULTURE, AND LOCAL IDENTITY. THE DESIGN BRIEF FOCUSES ON INTRODUCING STRONGER THAI ELEMENTS INTO SELECTED AREAS, PARTICULARLY THE TEA STORAGE SHELVES AND THE TEA BAR, WHILE MAINTAINING THE EXISTING CHARACTER OF THE RESTAURANT.

The restaurant is located on the basement level of Siam Paragon, near the escalator connecting to the BTS station. As visitors descend, the restaurant entrance leads directly into the tea bar, creating an immediate connection to the tea house identity. The design focuses on four main areas: the seating area, tea storage shelves, the tea bar, and the entrance facade. Each element is redesigned to introduce a stronger Thai character while maintaining the restaurant's existing identity.
