JRM Builds CHAGEE’s First U.S. Teahouse in Los Angeles

LOS ANGELES — JRM Construction West has successfully finalized the build-out of CHAGEE’s first American teahouse, located at the upscale Westfield Century City shopping center. At 1,870 square feet, the new space blends modern elegance with the company’s signature design sensibilities, marking a major milestone for the internationally recognized tea brand as it enters the U.S. market.

“We’re honored to partner with CHAGEE on its first U.S. location,” said John Jackson, Principal, Managing Partner at JRM West. “From the soaring ceiling volume to the precise millwork fins and thoughtfully constructed seating, our team focused on delivering a refined, welcoming environment that expresses CHAGEE’s brand while optimizing comfort and flow.”

The teahouse showcases striking high ceilings that enhance visual depth and openness, while custom millwork fins across all perimeter walls add layered texture and a distinct architectural rhythm. The interior layout features carefully planned seating zones designed to balance capacity, movement, and guest comfort.

An outdoor seating area adds another dimension to the experience, allowing visitors to enjoy tea in an open-air environment that aligns with California’s indoor-outdoor lifestyle. The build was completed on a 14-week fast-track schedule, demonstrating JRM’s ability to meet tight deadlines without compromising quality.

The completion of the CHAGEE project reinforces JRM’s strength in delivering premium retail and hospitality environments. From custom finishes to high-volume ceilings and precision detail work, the firm demonstrated its proficiency in creating brand-forward, customer-focused destinations.

This latest project builds upon JRM’s national portfolio of food-and-beverage, boutique retail, and luxury commercial interiors, further solidifying its position as a go-to partner for brands expanding into high-visibility U.S. markets.
