This project is not only a farmer’s store for CSA members to pick up weekly goods but also a community center for farmers to enjoy in Brooklyn.
The design idea is to create two interiors instead of one by using the “lenticular“ technique in shelf design. From one side of the space, it appears to be a community center & gallery for farmers to present their crafts and artworks, and from the other side, it’s a farmer’s shop for CSA members to pick up their weekly produce.

This thesis explores how design can redefine an experiential museum of TEA. The purpose is to educate people on TEA; what is it, where does it come from, how is it made, and how many ways it can be used. The main design component, the shape of a reversed tea field, allows for different programmatic elements to occur in the museum. This space creates an interactive museum by engaging the five senses, look, hear, touch, smell, and taste, throughout the space.

The up and down space in the loft are showing two different environment of nature and synthetic. Natural lighting and material can give people an easeful and cozy feeling. Synthetical lighting and material makes the environment more serious and concentrated.
The huge paper flower made for this space is in- spired by the broken venetian blind and the kaleido scope. One of the idea is to bring the outside world in to the interior space by using these different sized paper flowers. As people entering or put their head into the paper flower, you can see the drawings, photos, cuts of the street view and buildings by the natural lighting through the window.
