Sky Tea House is a tea house located at the seventh lane of neighborhood III. Although standing in the busy center, it enjoys the quietness in the corner, like a fairyland far away, counting the relaxed slow time.
For this case, we restructured the space. The first and second floors of the house were independent to each other in the past, which looks too separated from the outer world. We broke through the ground of the second floor, which enables us to catch some, but not all, scenes on the upper floor. In this way, the aesthetic perception of traditional buildings can be felt between disclosure and closure.
If you stand on the second floor and look down at the first floor, a totally different view can be seen. The busy passenger flow adds more vitality to the quietness. The tea cellars at the two sides integrate the differently functional upper and the lower spaces until it reaches the roof. Thanks to such an integrated design, the depth of the whole space is improved.
The second floor holds 2 VIP tea rooms and 1 communication area for daily use of the house. What deserves special mention is that the communication area is designed into a multi-purpose space after slight adjustment of local relations. The tatami which has been heightened slightly can be used for communication over tea, or combined with the front space as an activity area where the visitors can sit on the ground as they like and talk to each other without any burdens.
