The project is an attempt at sustainable design. HHC Design Studio transformed an abandoned storeroom in its office into a tea room. The original space was on a mezzanine under the staircase, which was cramped and had a low ceiling of merely 1.7m, making it a "forgotten corner" in the workplace. By bringing in old items such as wooden window panels recycled from old buildings, the design team activated the forgotten space and also gave new life to traditional objects that carry memories and cultural value.
