Tea Yard
Tea Yard is a teahouse interior of 860 square meters located in Jinhong. The design spreads several space boxes throughout a vegetation courtyard, so the garden is experienced between one room and the next. The traditional enclosure pattern of the Bai nationality informs the plan, and the outline of Erhai Lake shapes the interior landscape. Local rough stone, iron and blue wood products are combined with cotton and linen fabrics in blue, gray and brown tones. Local plants recall the tropical rainforest of Xishuangbanna and form quiet, private tea rooms.
