Type of Work Interior Design Client Real Fruit Bubble Tea Year 2022 Website www.realfruitbubbletea.com At Brampton’s Riocan Plaza, CGICA introduced a bold cultural concept for Real Fruit Bubble Tea — turning the store into a contemporary teahouse inspired by East Asian traditions.

Zoning includes long communal seating, semi-private alcoves, ordering counter, and layered ceiling treatments. Guests enjoy a tranquil, culturally rich tea-drinking atmosphere where design, brand, and belonging intersect. Inspired by Song Dynasty tea culture, the layout includes long benches and wooden partitions reminiscent of classical tea gatherings. The store is designed as a welcoming spot between home and work — a place to pause, meet, and reconnect. Visual elements reference classical teahouses, traditional architecture, and global tea rituals, honouring Brampton’s multicultural makeup.
