About Phoenix Tree Garden 茶室庭园

梧桐苑是一座坐落于北京胡同四合院中的茶室庭园。设计将单一的大空间转化为一系列相互串联的景致节点。折叠式云墙与弧形月洞门错动了内部轴线，并将园外与园内加以分隔。小桥、水道与叠石红山共同构筑起新的景观秩序。材料包括钢格栅桥、灰色与彩色卵石铺地以及小青瓦。在214.99平方米的空间内，营造出多间视景各异的茶室。

Behind the Design

Press Kit

Unique Properties: Designers transform the language of traditional gardens here to get a new garden conception, by dealing with a series of relationship between elements, such as the relationship between canals and clouds, the relationship between pavilion and the canal, the relationship between rocks and waterfalls. The design makes this small yard have the appearance of today's architectural space, while also having the poetry of traditional gardens.
Dimensions & Packaging: The project covers a total of 214.99 square meters. The transformation strategy is to turn a single large space to a number of scenic spots linked garden space, and transform the vague boundary between the original building and the courtyard indoor and outdoor into a space sense of alternating between the garden and the building tea house, and between the outdoor and the indoor.

Production Technology: Designers use the red rock laminar stack, the light-transparent bridge of the steel grille, the gray and colored cobblestone paving, and the 10 cm small gray tile paving. These materials give the garden a simple and authentic atmosphere.
Design Challenge: The shortcomings of the base are similar courtyard structures, the courtyards that are seen at a glance, and the current state of the house being demolished. Designers used the folding wall and the moon door to change the internal space axis, and organized the new landscape order with small bridges, waterways and stacked mountains.
Research: The owner rented a yard in the hutong, and asked Atelier ZZ to design a tea house garden. It is hoped that the garden will include the elements of traditional gardens, and have the true feeling of traditional gardens. It is not allowed to change the plane position of the original building and hope to have a phoenix tree. We designed and directed the stack of red rock mountain. Several tea rooms with different views and feelings were made in less than 200 square meters.
Inspiration: Some elements come from the reference to Suzhou classical gardens, such as the small arch bridge, borrowed from the static bridge in the net master garden, the stone paving on the ground borrowed from the linear stone paving of the bathing gull small garden. Designers designed and directed the stack of red rock mountain. Several tea rooms with different views and feelings were made in less than 200 square meters.
Project Duration: The project started in April 2018 in Beijing and finished in March 2019 in Beijing.
Operation Flow: Cloud wall is set at the entrance of the garden. The curved moon door twists the axis to separate the outside and inside of the garden.
