The corridor can not only increase the interest of visitors but also thoroughly reflect the history which truly realizes cultural inheritance and transmission
CHALLENGE: In the traditional tea house, furniture of the "SURECCO"brand that represents the oriental elements in Chinese culture and some Shanghai-style furniture in the Republic of China era are used, and besides, some western elements are also integrated. The combination of colors of furnishing accessories integrates both the Eastern and Western cultures.
