The Tea House Pod reimagines the traditional chashitsu for contemporary settings. The 270° curved glass wall dissolves the boundary between interior and landscape garden, while the elevated arched ceiling (3.2m at peak) naturally circulates air and sound for meditative stillness.
The interior features a raised tatami-style platform with underfloor heating, optimal for seated gatherings. A concealed climate system maintains 18-22°C and 50-60% humidity—ideal conditions for storing and preparing premium teas. The western wall integrates modular shelving for teaware display and a concealed preparation counter with instant hot water tap.
Exterior cladding options include charred cedar (shou sugi ban), natural bamboo, or powder-coated aluminum in matte earth tones. The 15㎡ footprint requires no foundation; four adjustable pedestal mounts level the unit on any compacted surface.
