The design of this tea house by Lin Kaixin Design Co. starts in the pursuit of achieving completeness of the oriental culture, which skillfully combines the concepts of symmetrical patterns and architectural gray spaces to perfectly present a free, open, natural and humane spiritual space. The tea house is built in the riverside and guests need to go to the main entrance along the park path and bypass the building envelope.

 

To protect the privacy of each room and add a mysterious spatial atmosphere, the designer has set up a series of gray spaces to complete the conversion and transition scenes, making endless interior landscapes. Horizontal or vertical grids, flat or straight grids produce changes to expand the spatial tension. Outside of the grids, shoji paper and stone are also space highlights. The designer extended the building appearance to design various functional “boxes” by slim and long wood grids rather than solid partition wall.
