The Design

About Xiyuan Teahouse Disenyong Panloob ng Teahouse

Ang Xiyuan Teahouse ay isang panloob na disenyo ng teahouse na matatagpuan sa tabi ng West Lake sa Hangzhou, China. Ang 1500 metro kwadradong espasyo ay binubuo ng isang nakaangat na sentral na plataporma para sa tsaa, walong pribadong silid, isang eskulturang hagdan na yari sa bronse na may nakabaon na rehas na greenwood, at isang tampok na tubig na isinama sa tanawin. Ginamit sa buong espasyo ang mga wood veneer na gawa sa kamay at mga pader na may plaster na maliwanag ang tono. Ang mga bintanang may pasadyang frame ay nagbubukas ng tanawin patungo sa lawa. Isang paikot na daanan ang dahan-dahang gumagabay sa mga panauhin sa pagdaan sa mga silid. Muling binibigyang-kahulugan ng disenyo ang tradisyonal na estetikang Silangan para sa isang modernong tagpuan ng hospitality.

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.
