The Hanging Tea House

Washington DC  –  David Jameson

Approximate Area:     16 m2 (173 sq. ft.)

Bronze, timber and bamboo give this ‘me space’ the look and feel of a Japanese tea house. Suspended from a pair of steel arms, it hangs like a lantern in the garden of the residence.

The landscaping has been designed to frame the building and lead the eye and body up origami steps to a 100mm (4″) think timber door. The owners use the room for music performances, occasional dining, and as a quiet space for contemplation.

The design has won numerous awards including the 2012 American Architecture Award and the 2012 International Architecture Award.
