STEP2: SHOP ANALYSIS
This step focusses on learning from an existing precedent and understanding the specific urban conditions in Hong Kong. The studio started by studying and observing context and space and learn from an existing case study. I studied the given site along Aberdeen street and chose to study a milktea shop and in particular the interface between public and private space.

SHOP ANALYSIS
Most people sit on the block after they ordered a drink. Some of them face inside to use the tables, while some face the street and chat with the people on the street. Some just stand on the street and put their drinks on the block. It is intersting to observe how people perceive and use a space or a strcture differently.
Through observing the milk tea shop, I was particularly interested in how the shop front articulate the interaction between interior and exterior space. The bright and inviting atmosphere, the opened windows and the undefined block are all welcoming every visitors.
