下街茶广场坐落于古市镇千年老街的东端之处。这片场地，过去是松阳县菜园茶的起源地，秉承“两个半”菜园的历史传说，而现在却是被民房环抱的荒废地和临时菜地。面对这一地理与文化的双重背景，广场的设计基于：纪念与再生。广场好似浮于原菜地之，为游客提供了一个感知茶文化的舞台，同时给予当地居民一个放松休闲的公共空间。广场内的各种元素如菜棚、可拆卸门板、拱门、石阶、座椅和檐口均源于当地的历史、文化和集体记忆。
在材料选取和处理上，深入研究并运用了胶合竹和耐候竹这些本地的创新材料。这不仅反映了对传统与现代的深入融合，更为场地带来了丰富的使用功能。例如，广场入口的拱形棚子成为人们的避风港和文化体验空间；第二个广场区域的可旋转椅子和石阶为公众提供了读书、对弈和儿童嬉戏的空地；而第三块“半”广场则巧妙地利用了两株老茶树，为避免破环根系，用白石子铺地，让人们在此处沉浸于下街茶的历史之中。
至于硬装材料，经济且耐久的水磨石被选为广场主要铺地材料，而小径则巧妙地采用了场地周围回收的瓦片和石板，体现了环保与历史的双重意义。此外，场地的植被设计均选用了当地特色的传统菜地植物，更在场地周边移植了之前未受到适当保护的茶树，以传承和延续茶文化。

Located at the eastern tip of Gushi Town's ancient street, the "Xiajie Tea Plaza" bridges the historic birthplace of Songyang's "Vegetable Garden Tea" with a modern rural retreat. Once a neglected plot overshadowed by residences and makeshift gardens, the design now echoes the "Two and a Half" gardens' lore, infusing commemoration with rejuvenation. Floating above its former terrains, the plaza invites immersion into tea culture and provides a serene communal space. Drawing from local history and memory, features like archways and vegetable shelters are crafted from innovative local bamboos, blending tradition and modernity. The site thoughtfully intertwines durable terrazzo, recycled tiles, and stone, celebrating sustainability and history. Native plants and transplanted tea trees further amplify the tea legacy, making the plaza both a cultural and ecological landmark.
