The Floating Suburban Tea House


Architizer has this post on a tea house built in the backyard of a suburban home in Bethesda, Maryland. Designed by David Jameson, the structure is meant to invoke the image of a hanging Japanese lantern, floating a foot or so off the ground, suspended from steel beams above.

    Gorgeous. Pictures with actual tea participants in a chanoyu session would be great.

    Thanks, Eve. I didn’t see any photos like that, but yes, they would be more interesting if the space were being used. Funny how architecture photos usually don’t feature any people?
