My aim to this project was to re think retail and the retail experience. I developed the idea of interactively making your own personalized tea. Right from picking your herbs from the garden to brewing and enjoying it while relaxing with surrounding garden. I did so through the use of my spatial generator term rows- which i got from the work rose- thinking about how they are planted and grow. My spatial generator is reflected in the layout of my tea house and also in elements such as the materials used and windows through focusing on the line work. Ihi and Wehi are associated with physical and emotional behaviour, both are being stimulated and exercised in this retail experience through the touch, smell and taste of the herbal teas to the relaxing spiritual feel the space provides. I wanted this tea house to be special through the way the garden was inside, and intimate with the small space. However If this project was to be developed further the thought of expansion out onto the pavement and allowing and indoor outdoor flow could be investigated.
