About Phoenix Tree Garden 茶館庭園

梧桐園係一個茶館庭園，坐落喺北京一個胡同四合院入面。呢個設計將一個單一嘅大空間，轉化成一連串互相連接嘅景點。一幅摺疊式雲牆同埋一道弧形月門，令內部軸線產生轉移，並將園外同園內分隔開嚟。小橋、水道同埋一座堆疊而成嘅紅石假山，重新組織起嶄新嘅景觀秩序。用料包括一道鋼格柵橋、灰色同彩色嘅鵝卵石鋪地，以及灰色小瓦片。喺214.99平方米嘅範圍內，打造出幾間各具景致嘅茶室。

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.
