Sneak-peek at some in-progress designs for a Teahouse and Meditation Space

Architectural design is about iterating and testing new ideas to see if you can find a creative, pragmatic, beautiful solution given the myriad constraints of the project. Today we are going to share some in-progress 3D visualizations for the bar, kitchen, and lounge areas of a teahouse and meditation space we are designing for a client’s project outside of Huntsville.

The design uses simple, natural materials in a minimalist way, evoking, via the local materials, the spirit of the place. The wall and floors will be clad in locally milled wood, while the ceiling will be a low-VOC poplar-based plywood with a natural finish.

The loft lounge (pictured above and below) brings in ample light while creating a calming place to relax, sketch, and chat.
The bar and central seating area was inspired by the idea of a wooden bench that wraps to form both the bar and seating, with a zen-garden with bonsai trees forming the anchor.
A window nook with cushions creates place to sketch and relax. The wooden bench that wraps around to form the bar and seating also forms a handy side-table for your tea and books.
