About Pandora Box Tavern
Pandora Box is the interior design of a three-floor wine retail and tasting space in Taiwan. The building keeps its original spatial pattern, while the stairs are rotated to create a smoother traffic flow. Each floor is divided by function, with retail, display, counter, collection, gathering, light meal and private guest areas. A curved display cabinet and a marble bar counter are placed on the first floor. The wine collection is set deep inside the space to avoid western sunlight and to protect quality. Calm colors and warm wood tones give a quiet and elegant character.

- Design Challenge
- The space is a three-story building.

Therefore, the designer intentionally set up the liquor collection deep within the space to avoid being exposed under the sun in the west and retain the high quality.
- Project Duration
- The project finished in April 2021 in Taiwan.
- Operation Flow
- To achieve a more affluent and harmonic space configuration, the designer rotated the original stairs especially to reflect a smoother movement planning. The front of the first floor has main functions including retail, tasting, and displaying; counter bars, curved glass cabinets, and hallowed storages are set around the area. The ceiling uses brick-imitating wallpapers as a collage; the combination of warm wooden tones and metallic frame embellishment shows qualities of low-key luxury. The end of the floor is the inner side of the space with fully equipped wine storage facilities.
- Research
- The story behind the design is that the owner hoped to create a business for his daughter. The original base was bought many years ago. Due to the international crises and environmental trends, the owner wished to create a wine tasting space in his own country for people in business to purchase. Meanwhile, the spatial is expected to meet the needs of retail and collecting; with the planning through the areas and floors, the retail area, the collection area, the gathering area, the light meal area and the client exclusive guest room, and more areas are created.
- Inspiration
- The space is a luxurious liquor sales center, conceives such as retail, wine tasting, displaying, collecting, and others fully presented in the partition of the single space three floors. Meanwhile, the client also hoped to show his taste and style throughout the wine-tasting area, attract other tasteful people into the wine tasting culture, bring unique personalities into the artistic space and select shop, and provide a glorious experience.
