The Cloud Tea Room, perched on a tea field in Huzhou, China. Inspired by the spatial prototype of the traditional teahouse, the architect developed a new type using modern materials and an innovative environment. This unconventional tea space offers an abnormal experience, inviting visitors to explore a world of tea like never before.

사라진 세계
A disappeared world

 

Design strategy weakens the existence of architecture in the tea field, blurs the edge of architecture, decreases a physical sense of space, and strengthens communication between people, architecture, and the environment for a better experience. The project forms a new landscape system by vanishing twice. Based on the tea room self, construct an architectural structure with steel poles spread outside, which disappear the teahouse at its original point reversely; the spray installation integrated into the steel poles creates a recycling moment. Architect Donghyun JUNG mentions this vibration scene, “one hundred steel poles generate a sole world in temporarily for the tea room when the fog gradually disappeared, and hills appeared, you came back to a secular world, recognized a new feel to the surrounding you stay in.” These two varnishes, virtual and real, create a process from cultivating, floating, and scattering to falling, disappearing, and dewing, rendering a scenery for people to walk through fog and cloud in the teahouse and hills.

구름은 언덕에 머물러 있다.
Cloud stays on the hill

 

When constructing the space-time situation, the architect used 170 steel poles to complete the structure, which supported the whole tea room and landscape installation. The steel pole area is almost 910 square meters, with a distance of 1.2 meters, following the terrain and spreading in hills, forming a path between tea fields. The total height distance of the steel poles is 60 meters, each top of them, and the 3-D coordinate is calculated by parametric design approach, which finally forms an unshaped outline and space of cloud; 100 of 170 steel poles assembled the spray installation posited in the center, surround the tea room. It is organized by a pair of plates inserted in the column structure, making little horizontal drift considering the shading. The tea room levitates on the hill, introducing the view to the sky from a slim roof plate; the glass wall keeps a transparent scene, only steel poles with fog, tea fields, ponds, hills, and the sky.

 

These random steel poles are distributed into a landscape structure, varnishing the substance of architecture; fog installation constructs an inner universe, a recycled experience for the present world, misting tea worlds.
