Tea Room<\/b><\/a> by Facet Studio<\/a>, Osaka, Japan<\/p>\n Perched on a platform of interlocking stones, the free-standing structure floats above a hole where the roots of an old tree bearing the family\u2019s name lie beneath. The glass-front fa\u00e7ade and roof exposes the structure to natural light, creating a serene, warm environment in the thick of exposed pine beams.<\/p>\n \u00a9 A1 architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 A1 architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 A1 architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Black Teahouse<\/b><\/a> by A1 architects<\/a>, Ceska Lipa, Czech Republic<\/p>\n Sitting alongside a lake and woodland near the city of \u010cesk\u00e1 L\u00edpa, this timber teahouse features large doors that slide back from both rectangular and arched openings in the walls that open out to a sheltered deck.

Neighboring a small transformer substation, upper and lower bridged doorways connect the office spaces to the teahouse on the rooftop.<\/p>\n \u00a9 HWCD<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 HWCD<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 HWCD<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Bamboo Courtyard Teahouse<\/b><\/a> by HWCD<\/a>, Yangzhou, China<\/p>\n Floating on a tranquil lake in the Shiqiao Garden just northwest of Shanghai, this teahouse is comprised of two inward facing pavilions that create a series of protected internal habitats that are not completely shielded from the outside environment. With stalks appearing to rise out of the water, the bamboo screens help shade the constructs in the summer, provide ventilation, and from a distance allows the complex to appear more natural and blend in with the surrounding landscape.<\/p>\n \u00a9 Archi-Union<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Archi-Union<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Archi-Union<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n The Tea House<\/b><\/a> by Archi-Union<\/a>, Shanghai, China<\/p>\n Located in the backyard of Archi-Union\u2019s J-office, \u2018The Tea House\u2019 is constructed from the salvaged parts of the original warehouse\u2019s collapsed roof. Restricted by a mature tree, the project was intended to embody harmony by integrating enclosure and openness into three parts: a covered public area is formed that opens towards the pool, an enclosed tea house at ground level, and a library on the first floor where a small triangular balcony extends around the existing tree.<\/p>\n \u00a9 David Jameson Architect<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 David Jameson Architect<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 David Jameson Architect<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Tea House<\/b><\/a> by David Jameson Architect<\/a>, Bethesda, Maryland<\/p>\n Hanging like a lantern in the bamboo garden of a residence, this glass and bronze pavilion houses a music recital room that resembles a traditional Japanese tea house. A four-inch-thick door opens up to the interior, where a faceted timber ceiling bevels down into the center of the room.<\/p>\n \u00a9 Swatt Miers Architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Swatt Miers Architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Swatt Miers Architects<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Tea Houses<\/b><\/a> by Swatt Miers Architects<\/a>, Silicon Valley, California<\/p>\n Suspended over the edge of a valley in northern California, three glass pavilions were designed to house a workspace that can also be used for hosting small parties, a space for sleeping, and a meditation room. Located on the grounds of a client\u2019s house, the transparent glass walls that are shaded by overhanging trees are held in place by horizontal steel joists and vertical concrete cores.<\/p>\n \u00a9 zlgdesign<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 zlgdesign<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 zlgdesign<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n BOH Tea Visitor\u2019s Centre<\/a><\/b> by zlgdesign<\/a>, Pahang, Malaysia<\/p>\n Situated on a hillside amongst the terraced slopes of a tea plantation, the Boh Visitor Centre houses a shop, tea house, and exhibition area. Bringing a shifting view of the landscape, the walkway encased in a metalwork screen \u2014 filled in with circular sections of timber from rubber trees that had fallen on the estate \u2014 casts patterns of shadow and light that animate the floor.<\/p>\n \u00a9 MoNo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 MoNo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 MoNo<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Invisible Tea House in Mies van der Rohe Haus<\/b><\/a> by MoNo<\/a>, Berlin, Germany<\/p>\n Located in the garden of a gallery that was originally a house designed by Mies van der Rohe, this outdoor teahouse installation was created for the 125th anniversary of Mies’s birth. The installation honored the architecture that integrates with the garden, providing an atmospheric space for new experiences in the historical place that dates back to 1933.<\/p>\n \u00a9 Waechter Architecture<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Waechter Architecture<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 Waechter Architecture<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n J-Tea<\/b><\/a> by Benjamin Waechter, Architect<\/a>, Eugene, Oregon<\/p>\n Designed for an importer and seller of Taiwanese oolong teas, retail space for tea sales and sampling was appropriated from an existing single-family house located in a commercially zoned area. Framing the interior space as if it were a stage set, the porch draws the visitors into the tea room, giving the former house a commercial scale.<\/p>\n \u00a9 ARCHSTUDIO<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 ARCHSTUDIO<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n \u00a9 ARCHSTUDIO<\/p>\n\t<\/div>\n\n Tea House in Hutong<\/b><\/a> by Arch Studio (China)<\/a>, Beijing, China<\/p>\n Occupying a formerly dilapidated building complex in one of Beijing’s ancient neighborhoods, this teahouse is comprised of a series of curved glass walls that enclose bamboo-planted courtyards.
