Li Shan's Tea Bar Cafe

The poet Sophia Anderson described the night in the city like this.

Dead moonlight is born from the dried-up horizon,

And "Sadness of the Street"

Let her feel suffocated.

The city is a place where many people struggle, but many times it also makes people feel extremely tired. Today, with the rise of tea culture and coffee culture, various tea rooms and cafes are not only places for people to relax, but also cultural gathering places.

Compared with the street teahouses and cafes that can be seen everywhere in the city, it is better to go into nature and drink tea in the mountains and coffee at the seaside. Let people escape from the noise of the city and wash away their daily fatigue. Throw away the present, talk to nature, sort out your mood and return.

Next, I will take you into the mountains, countryside and seaside.

Appreciate those buildings far away from the city.

Drink a cup of green tea and make a cup of coffee.

Go through the noise and reach nature.

Walking into the museum, large-area floor-to-ceiling windows give guests the greatest viewing experience and bring people closer to nature. Order an authentic hand-ground coffee at the bar and start a whole day's leisure time.

Cement paint keeps the tonality of space simple, while light-colored solid wood floor brings a little temperature. The abstract painting in the corner inadvertently fell into another sinking mood.

The whole cafe is not decorated too much, but more is the spirit of coffee and nature. The space atmosphere is simple, quiet and natural, as if under the appearance of old objects, it presents a kind of beauty full of years.

Factory 809 is located in Xialaoxi, a suburb of Yichang City, Hubei Province, China, about 30 minutes' drive from the urban area. The buildings in the factory area are divided into hotel parts and supporting entertainment parts. The hotel consists of a lobby, an art exhibition hall, four guest rooms and a western restaurant. The supporting entertainment part consists of a reception center, a Chinese restaurant, a book bar, a time auditorium, a parent-child activity center and a cliff top tea bar.

The natural environment here is beautiful. Standing on the cliff overlooking the upper reaches of Xialao River, the scenery is excellent, and it is a rare natural scenery "beautiful place" in the factory. Standing by the stream under the cliff, the vegetation of the stream, the stone cliff and the top of the mountain constitutes a very beautiful picture.

The starting point of design is to consider two pairs of variables: "complexity and simplicity" and "portability and weight". The refinement of building blocks starts from simplicity and produces complex and vivid visual effects with simple design methods, so that the building and its surrounding environment can achieve a dynamic balance of both integrity and vividness.

In order to express the "light" state of the building in the environment, the design team chose glass and white aluminum plate as the external materials of the building. Building lighting is mainly based on internal light transmission, and only a light source is arranged behind the perforated part of aluminum plate to form a unique pattern at night.

The interior of Aden Tea Bar is mainly in white and wood color, with simple white on the wall and top and light wood color on the bottom, which is comfortable and warm. Sunlight passes through the huge glass curtain wall and introduces beautiful scenery into the indoor space.

The architect did not choose to build the coffee shop directly on the top of the mountain, but hid it in the mountains and looked out at the plantation. It is hoped that through this design, the panoramic view of the top of the mountain can be maintained and tourists can enjoy the scenery of the plantation in all directions. On the roof, people can not only feel the natural atmosphere of the park, but also observe the scene of tea farmers picking tea.

The main building consists of three suspended bodies and extended bodies in different directions, and their scale and proportion are different according to their respective uses. Functional areas include restaurants, cafes, tea shops and bathrooms, and the overall structure of the building is full of challenges.

Designers hope to make indoor space into a style that is harmonious with outdoor, full of natural flavor and can show the vitality of raw materials.

In order to achieve the unity of indoor and outdoor design, the symbolic oblique wood grain outside the building is used in the display rack of souvenir shop to promote the sales of goods. Wood and steel are also used together to build common product racks. Candy, teacups, especially the authentic local tea and other delicate products are placed on the shelves of shops.

village

Coordinates: Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou

Unbounded Xixi Tea Room is located in Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou. Xixi, with an area of 1 1.5 square kilometers, has winding mountains and rivers, famous gardens and ancient temples, and numerous sand dunes in Luting.

On the basis of protecting the traditional column-beam structure, the designer did subtraction for the design, adopted a large area of floor-to-ceiling glass, exposed the skeleton of the building itself, and walked in, which had a feeling of interweaving fiction and fact, implying that everything was like a dream bubble in Buddhism.

Slowly go deep into the space along the gravel road at the entrance, and at the end is a miniature natural landscape. When the sun shines through the glass and shoots into space, everything swings with the light and shadow, as if there is life.

Designers skillfully divide the grid of public reception area into the traditional word "nothing", which highlights the unbounded brand culture in the space.

On the other side of the front hall, a landscape painting was made, with an old chair and a candle lamp. A branch of the surrounding tree hangs from the top of the tree. As soon as the light shines, the white wall presents a winding projection, and the beautiful scenery of Xixi continues indoors, which is also the embodiment of the unbounded concept.

In order to make the facade free, white walls, glass surfaces and traditional wooden columns keep a certain distance, just like some kind of spiritual dialogue, which produces the beauty of distance.

The landscape tea space on both sides of the courtyard was transformed from the original storage room. Open and expand the original space, place a chair and enjoy the outdoor scenery at any time.

There is a large meeting space in the teahouse, where meetings and forums can be held for communication. Tea and sightseeing make the meeting a pleasant thing, blur the boundaries of rules and make thinking more efficient and meaningful.

The design of each tea space is tailored to different landscape environments. The tea space here is surrounded by a bamboo forest, and at the same time, it incorporates a little contemporary elements, and there is no boundary between ancient and modern dialogue, sitting on the floor and enjoying the fun of tea in the bamboo forest.

The concept of restaurant design is to put a "glass box" into the bamboo forest landscape and vividly combine nature and space. It embodies the idea that tradition and modernity coexist, and human architecture and nature coexist.

The project is located in the beautiful Taihu Lake, covering an area of 400. There are old houses all around. Four seasons of lake light and the most beautiful sunset are the definitions of this simple white building. Flocks of seagulls hover around the building, taste coffee in the lake and feel the gift of nature.

The building has three floors, with the basement as the kitchen and the first and second floors as the dining area. The platform built on the top of the original tile is the best place to view the lake. The bread kiln made by people in the courtyard can bake bread by hand.

The designer added many curved windows to keep out the light. Whether it is the twilight in the morning or the sunset in the afternoon, it floats in space and falls on people's shoulders.

When the designer demolished the space, the original six columns of the bar on the first floor were integrated into teak material and partition modeling.

In the public guest area, the original long window is extended to the ground, and the other window is arc-shaped, so that everyone who stays in the public guest area can enjoy the lake scenery in the four seasons outside the window. The chairs are neatly arranged, and the booth area seems to run through all the wheels. Designers separate them and distinguish them from the sensory level.

Covering a part of the top surface of the original building, the designer divided it into high and low blocks, appropriately divided it and left space. The folding screen door is both decorative and partition, which can expand the space at any time. Long holes left in the wall, stealing jujube trees in the backyard.

The transformed space is far away from the original building, and the designer tries to break through from a certain point and realize the transformation. Further stripping complex elements and extracting geometric relations.

It is not boring for people to move, sit still or walk in space. Moving space can add more interest. The arc suggests a gentle way to talk to space. It is also a dialogue with yourself in space.

seaside

Mysterious caves under sand dunes, cafes in art galleries.

Coordinates: Qinhuangdao

On the beach in Changli County, Bohai Bay in northern China, OPEN designed a hidden art museum, just like a mysterious cave hidden under a sand dune. The location of the art museum under the sand dunes is not only awe of nature, but also protection of nature.

Inspired by the children's game of digging sand at the seaside, the architects tried to "dig" some interconnected "caves" in the sand dunes and a series of honeycomb continuous spaces, which constituted the rich functions of the Sand Dune Art Museum, such as how to see the coffee shop in the sea.

Looking at the sea from the inside of Dune Art Museum, through different holes, the sea is different scenery at different times. A spiral staircase leading to the observation deck at the top of the sand dune leads people to follow the light from the darkness of the cave until they suddenly find themselves between the sky and the vast sea.

The doors and windows, reception desk, bar and bathroom sink of Dune Art Museum are all hand-made, and the eight tables in the cafe are also designed and customized by architects according to the different plane shapes of each exhibition hall.

Cafe is integrated with nature in form, and a series of energy-saving measures adopted in its building system have also achieved the sustainability of the building as much as possible.

In order to make people get the best view in the building, the architect maximizes the length of the opening facing the sea and the beach, leaves the central part blank according to the given floor area ratio, and arranges the seats along the edge of the building, so that more people can enjoy the beautiful scenery.

In architecture, long continuous spaces with different heights are superimposed on each other and connected by connecting bridges; Seats are set in the wide corridor around the central hole, and users can enjoy the sea view and other rich natural landscapes.

There are many flat beds in the outdoor space of the building, which is a kind of outdoor furniture and is usually used for group activities such as community tea parties. The architect gave up building a wide terrace on the beach and replaced it with a series of flat beds.

The inclined concrete wall rises gradually, and the height exceeds that of the surrounding pine trees. You can overlook the distant sea and sky lines on the roof layer and have a panoramic view of the whole coastline.
