About Xiyuan Teahouse Çayevi İç Mekan Tasarımı

Xiyuan Çayevi, Çin'in Hangzhou kentinde Batı Gölü kıyısında yer alan bir çayevi iç mekanıdır. 1500 metrekarelik alan; yükseltilmiş bir merkezi çay platformu, sekiz özel oda, kakma yeşil ahşap korkuluklara sahip heykelsi bir bronz merdiven ve peyzajla bütünleşmiş bir su öğesi içerir. Mekanın genelinde el işçiliğiyle üretilen ahşap kaplamalar ve açık tonlu sıvalı duvarlar kullanılmıştır. Özel tasarım çerçeveli pencereler göle doğru manzaralar açar. Döngüsel bir sirkülasyon aksı, konukları odalar arasında yavaş bir ritimle yönlendirir. Tasarım, geleneksel Doğu estetiğini modern bir ağırlama ortamı için yeniden yorumlar.

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.
