Text description provided by architect.
A new tea house built out of a desire to pass on the good old traditions of Japanese culture.
To enter into a space designed for host and guest alone has a heightening effect on the senses, making one aware of the slightest interplays of light and sound.
It even feels like a representation of the world’s changes in condensed form.
One can even concur: great masters of the tea ceremony of old could find the whole universe within this minimal space.
The materials used for its construction consist of locally-sourced earth, timber, bamboo and stone.
Someday when it has finished serving its purpose, the structure will return to the earth.
