The tea pavilion was created as an outdoor space for stillness, gathering and slow time. It is part of a tea house, yet it also forms a place of its own beneath the open sky — connected with the garden and the old stone wall.
I was inspired by the Japanese approach to simplicity, natural materials and harmony between a structure and its surroundings. The construction was made almost without screws or other metal fasteners. The individual elements are assembled so that they work together through their own weight, pressure and the principle of leverage. This gives the piece a very distinctive character.
Another interesting element is the anchoring of the rear posts. Each of them is fixed directly into the old stone wall, each at a different height according to the wall’s original shape and character. The pavilion is therefore not merely built in the garden — it is almost grown into it.
