About Xiyuan Teahouse Внатрешен дизајн на чајџилница

Xiyuan Teahouse е ентериер на чајџилница лоцирана покрај Западното Езеро во Хангџоу, Кина. Просторот од 1500 квадратни метри вклучува издигната централна платформа за чај, осум приватни соби, скулптурално бронзено скалиште со вградени огради од зелено дрво и водена површина интегрирана со пејзажот. Низ целиот простор се користени рачно изработени дрвени фурнири и ѕидови од малтер во светли тонови. Прозорци со рамки изработени по нарачка отвораат погледи кон езерото. Кружна циркулациска патека полека ги води гостите низ просториите. Дизајнот ја реинтерпретира традиционалната источна естетика за модерен угостителски амбиент.

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.
