About Tea Culture Exploration Hall
Tea Culture is a small tea culture experience hall designed as a calm setting for tasting tea. Several horizontal and vertical spaces are joined into one continuous area where visitors can walk freely, meet one another or pause and look back. The layout was inspired by folded paper, and the resulting shifts of perspective give the interior both classical quietness and modern vitality. Slender grids replace the surface texture of paper. Each space is reduced to a simple function, so visitors can relax before the tea is served.

Design Details
- Unique Properties
- The Project took only more than one month from design to opening. How to complete design and high-quality implementation in such short time? And I thought of the ancient literati and painters, who had often dealt with friends, but only a few strokes and words would reveal their broad mind, much better than a masterwork. So, I simplified what was complicated. The process looked quite like the original intention of the tea ceremony—to eliminate fidgetiness before tasting fragrance.
- Inspiration
- When I was young, I despised the Japanese sado culture as a red tape, but I have now realized that I was so shallow because the tea ceremony is a process where one cultivates himself and seeks enlightenment. Years later, I heard the story of Smelling Osmanthus Fragrance in the Suzhou Garden and suddenly had my chaotic thoughts straightened out. It happened that my friend commissioned me to design a small-sized tea culture experience hall, so I named it Osmanthus Fragrance Cottage.
- Realization and Technology
- Smelling Osmanthus Fragrance is a well-known story about Zen. Huang Tingjian, a great calligrapher and litterateur in the Northern Song Dynasty, practiced the dharma to reach understanding of Zen and seek enlightenment, but being short-tempered, he thought that the master didn’t teach him how to get enlightened although they had stayed together for many years. One day, they traveled leisurely between the earth and sky. The master asked, Have you smelled the fragrance of osmanthus flowers? Huang Tingjian answered, I have. Everywhere! The master laughed and said, As you know, I didn’t hide anything from you!
- Specifications
- What came last was visual presentation. For the interspace distortion caused by the connecting paper, it was a contingent visual effect we wanted to achieve, giving the entire room not only classical calmness, but also modern vitality. Finally, the surface texture of paper was replaced with slender grids to express an elusory and visible Oriental mood.
