About Xiyuan Teahouse Interior design di una casa da tè
La Casa da Tè Xiyuan è un interno per la degustazione del tè situato accanto al Lago dell'Ovest a Hangzhou, in Cina. Lo spazio di 1500 metri quadrati comprende una pedana centrale rialzata dedicata al tè, otto sale private, una scala scultorea in bronzo con ringhiere intarsiate in legno verde e un elemento d'acqua integrato nel paesaggio. Impiallacciature di legno lavorate artigianalmente e pareti intonacate dai toni chiari caratterizzano tutti gli ambienti. Finestre con telai su misura aprono la vista verso il lago. Un percorso di circolazione ad anello guida gli ospiti lentamente attraverso le sale. Il progetto reinterpreta l'estetica tradizionale orientale per un contesto contemporaneo dell'ospitalità.

- Production Technology
- The teahouse features handcrafted wood veneers, bronze clad spiral stairs with inlaid greenwood railings, artisanal light toned plaster walls, and custom crystal acrylic tea sculptures. Spatial planning follows a loop circulation strategy, optimizing lake views and operational efficiency while reinforcing the natural and cultural dialogue of the interior.
- Design Challenge
- The core challenge lay in reinterpreting traditional Eastern aesthetics in a modern hospitality context without resorting to pastiche. Balancing symbolic depth with operational needs, integrating natural and built landscapes, and addressing tourist engagement within a historically significant setting required careful design logic and cultural sensitivity.
- Research
- Design research began with site analysis and historical study of Wang Yutai Tea House and literati traditions. Methodology included archival review, interviews, and spatial simulations. Participants included hotel operators, historians, and tea masters. Insights informed symbolic design, spatial zoning, and sensory elements. Results strengthened cultural resonance and guest engagement.
- Inspiration
- The design was inspired by the century old heritage of the Wang Yutai Tea House and the refined literati lifestyle of West Lake's past. From the "West Lake Moon Gatherings" to the tranquil tea rituals, the project revives cultural memories through spatial storytelling, aiming to reconnect modern life with traditional Eastern ideals of beauty, balance, and contemplation.
- Project Duration
- The project started in January 2024 in Hangzhou, China and finished in October 2024.
- Operation Flow
- The design encourages slow paced, reflective engagement. Visitors enter through a symbolic gateway and follow a circular path that reveals lake views, private rooms, and shared tea platforms. Seating and height variations allow layered interaction with the scenery. The flow fosters both intimacy and openness, enhancing spiritual and sensory experiences.
