架构师提供的文本描述。To Tsai茶室位于雅典最热闹的科洛纳基市的亚历山大秀街(AlexanderSoutsou Street)。科洛纳基是一个非常密集的地带，位于莱卡梅图斯山的南部，位于雅典考古/机构中心和位于伊卡布内图斯山西部的埃克萨奇无政府主义地带之间。它被认为是雅典最昂贵的地区，它的居民受过良好的教育和富裕。由于它的多种用途(住宅，办公室，零售，娱乐，艺术，机构)，它被认为是城市的一部分，从不睡觉。来自阿提卡盆地的人们和许多游客正在参观该地区，以便参观最新的烹饪实验或参观该地区多个画廊和设计商店中的一个展览馆。事实上，科洛纳基是一个开放的领域，在设计，生活方式，建筑，城市文化.

Text description provided by the architects. To Tsai Tea Room is located at Alexander Soutsou street in Kolonaki, one of the most lively areas in Athens. Kolonaki is a very dense zone located in the south of lycabetus hill, between the archeological/ institutional center of Athens and the anarchist zone of Exarchia that occupies the west part of the Iycabetus hill. It's consider to be the most expensive area of Athens and its residents are well educated and wealthy. Because of its multi-use character ( residential, offices, retail, entertainment, art, institutional) it's consider to be the part of the city that never sleeps. People from all the Attica basin along with a lot of tourist are visiting the area in order to visit the newest culinary experimentation or to visit an exposition in one of the multiple galleries and design stores in the area. In fact Kolonaki is an area the open to experimentation in design, lifestyle, architecture, urban culture....

对于蔡氏茶室来说，这是近十年来在200米长的人造丝中创建的杜津茶室的第一半，提供了来自世界各地的500多种茶。与该地区其他茶室的不同之处在于，除了它令人惊叹的茶具收藏之外，它还将茶室服务与零售商店和同一空间中一家以茶为导向的小吃店结合在一起。游客主要是该地区艺术性强的居民，人们可以看到一些最知名的希腊作家、艺术家和记者，他们正在寻找一个平静的空间，以便从这座城市这片势不可挡的地区退休。这是一条很小的街道，把红衣草和迪莫克里托街结合在一起，很吵，很有活力。室内空间的装饰自由、极简的细节，加上茶的美妙气味调色板和柔和的音乐，创造了禅宗的宇宙，艺术的居民和游客可以从这个喧闹的城市中退休。

To tsai Tea room it's the first of half of duzin of tea rooms that were created in the area in the last ten years in a rayon of 200 meters and offer an variety of 500 teas from all over the world. The difference with the other tea room in the area, apart from its amazing collection of teas it's that after its renovation, it combines the tea room services with a retail shop and a light tea oriented specialties restaurant in the same space. It's visitors are mainly the artsy residents of the area and one could see some of the most known writers, artists and journalists of Greece that are looking for a calm space to retire from this overwhelming area of the city . Al Soutsou str it's a quite small street that unite lycabetus str and Dimokritou str that are very noisy and alive. The ornament free minimalistic details of the interior spaces combined with the wonderful odor palette of the teas and the soft music are creating that Zen universe that the artsy residents and tourist could retire from this noisy part of the city

该场所的老板在1994年开了一家茶叶进口和零售商店，距离实际翻新的商店只有几个街区之遥。他是第一个在希腊进口优质茶叶的人。2008年，他以茶室/餐厅的形式开了一家真正的茶馆。起初生意很慢，但自从危机爆发以来，他的生意就开始兴盛起来。问题是，当经济繁荣的时候，希腊的茶叶生意很糟糕，而且自从危机爆发以来，茶叶生意/哲学家对希腊人民产生了很好的共鸣。这就像茶是一种良药，这是很自然的，因为危机使希腊人学会了适应一种更简约的生活方式。这就是危机的好处所在，这也使得茶哲学对一些希腊人来说是必不可少的。茶文化的成功，是现代希腊人民文化从唯物主义向本质主义缓慢转变的反映。

The owner of the place opened a tea import and retail shop just couple of blocks away from the actual refurbished shop in 1994. He was the first to import good quality tea in Greece. In 2008 he opened the actual tea shop in a form of a tea room/ restaurant. The business were slow in the beginning but since the crisis started his business started to boom. The thing is that when the economy was booming tea business in Greece was bad, and since the crisis started the tea business/philoshophy has a very good resonance to greek people. It’s like tea works like a remedy, and that’s natural because the crisis learn greeks to adapt TO a more minimalistic way of life. That’s the good thing about the crisis, and that’s what made the tea philosophy essential to some of the greek people. Tea culture success it’s a reflexion of the slow change of Modern Greek people culture from materialism to essentialism.

科洛纳基-它不是在繁荣，而是它的稳定，它的繁荣是建立在一种唯物主义的流行文化酒吧和餐馆里，这种模式与它的消失、超级唯物主义的消失相抗衡。有趣的是，这里有另一种创造性的氛围。一个新的令人惊叹的巧克力店在几个街区之外开放，巧克力天堂，街头美食节每隔几周举行一次，新的画廊，艺术节，几个令人惊叹的建筑干预措施，比如一个雅典，

Kolonaki it’s not booming back but its stabilizing, its booming was based in a materialistic pop culture bars and restaurants and that mode de vie its gone, supermaterialism it’s gone. What it’s interesting it’s that there is an alternative creative air. A new amazing chocolat place opened couple of blocks away, a chocolate paradise, street food festivals are held every couple of weeks, new galleries, art festivals, couple of amazing architectural interventions like ONE ATHENS,
