About Xi Space Casa de Te

Xi Space és una casa de te situada a Ningbo, la Xina, amb una superfície de 110 metres quadrats. L'interior reuneix una sala de te, una zona de treball i un espai expositiu per a una col·lecció privada d'estris de te, cal·ligrafia i pintura. El maó, la fusta, el marbre i les pintures conformen la paleta principal de materials. La distribució atorga al ritual diari del te un marc calmat i ordenat. El disseny reflecteix la convicció que els objectes bells refresquen la ment i que col·leccionar és un acte de tenir cura de les coses més que no pas una recerca de riquesa. L'espai està pensat per al descans, el treball i la convivència amb els amics.
