Design Challenge

Design of localization brand experience for international Franchisee Teahouse - Gong cha. Being a global brand provides tangible and intangible services linking with local emotions to let customers have a new and full range of consumer experiences, which improves its localized operations and gains customer identification. However, there are different cultures, humanities, and consumer preferences for other store regions. Therefore, how to achieve both internationalization and localization is the primary challenge of commercial design.

Research

Among the wide range of food and beverage brands, how to get the recognition of consumers depends on the establishment of brand image, and tea house space is the most direct experience to give consumers the brand image. Besides, the spatial impression is the key to the success of the store operation. Therefore, in this project, Wu Sian - Gong cha Santee explored the relationship between brand elements and spatial building skills. Integrated brand image into the Teahouse space can enhance product value and the appeal of the brand and strengthen the brand image and self-identity.
