Centered on the philosophy of human-nature symbiosis, this project develops a contemporary tea lounge integrating immersion, ecology and traditional tea culture. Adhering to the concepts of low-impact development and sustainable ecology, the design adopts lightweight construction to blur the interior-exterior spatial boundaries. Circulation paths are arranged around immersive experience, combining light, shadow, waterscape and natural materials. The design guides visitors to step away from urban hustle into tranquil surroundings, enabling them to appreciate the harmonious coexistence of nature and city over tea. As a result, the tea lounge functions as an urban public node available for rest, sensory experience and interactive activities.
