Tant A Temps Design creates Laibei 1087 cafe within 220-square-metre heritage redevelopment at Xi’an’s Beilin Museum
☕ Tant A Temps Design created Laibei 1087 cafe inside Xi’an’s Beilin Museum, China, originally constructed in 1087. Part of a 220-square-metre development with retail, rest and stone-rubbing workshop spaces, the cafe revives Tang Dynasty aesthetics through light green and gold interiors. Detachable, reversible additions preserve historic timber columns and beams, while a central bar conceals modern utilities. Lightweight, prefabricated materials support the studio’s “minimum intervention” and “zero damage” approach.
