The client wanted to upgrade both the brand image and customer experience while retaining the casual sociability expected of a taphouse. The space needed to showcase a large range of local beers, connect to the terrace in Shenzhen’s warm climate and feel distinctive enough for customers seeking new food and drink experiences.

Tap & Co feels contemporary without becoming formal. Its dark material palette gives the brand a confident identity, while timber, warm light and the open terrace retain the relaxed atmosphere needed for pizza, craft beer and long social visits.

Large folding doors open the frontage onto the terrace, extending the room outdoors. A long bar draws guests inside, with a glowing wall of brass beer taps set against deep black finishes. Simple timber furniture and substantial oak tables reference beer-hall traditions, surrounded by a darker palette of blackened steel, distressed concrete and highly textured glazed tile. Concealed warm lighting softens these industrial surfaces, while brass accents, bold signage and red neon bring energy and a more refined edge. The result maintains clear sightlines and an open, social layout centred on the beer offer.
