Taking up a refurbished mid-19th century colonial heritage building, a sculpturesque brass cage was integrated into the entry foyer façade of the villa. It houses a new outdoor tea bar behind the angled brass slats that shield it from the midday sun but come night fall, the reflective nature of the brass disappears as light from within the foyer pours outwards. The cage glistens like a golden pot of tea with a custom chain chandelier that reminisce of floating tea leaves hanging above, drawing the casual passer-by to glimpse inwards and into the restaurant.

Contrasting with the exterior which has mostly been left intact due to historic preservation guidelines, the interior has been completely transformed. Entering the main dining area through the bar, patrons transition from the old to the new. Once inside, approximately 35,000 meters of gold chains in 3 different shades make up the undulating sculpture-like planes. Each layer was meticulously carved to mimic the mountainous tea fields and to form niches for patrons with a need for privacy. It also masks a structural column that sits in the middle of the store turning it into the focal point that anchors the gold cloud. The soft nature of the chains allows patrons to touch and feel them. the organic shapes create an ethereal grotto enhanced by the strategically placed mirror behind the banquet seating to invoke a sense spaciousness to the otherwise narrow site.
