Tea OZ Tea house

设计特色:      

项目 – 在传统与现代的巧妙融合中,一座百年老宅华丽蜕变为令人心驰神往的商业茶馆。这个开创性项目坐落于莫干山脚下,为该地区仅存的“抬梁式重檐五开间”江南传统民居建筑注入了新的生命力。

 

设计师们巧妙平衡了保护与创新,打造出一个既尊重历史根源又满足现代需求的空间。通过策略性地修剪外立面、屋顶和二楼地板的部分区域,自然光线和空气得以渗透曾经阴暗的内部,彻底改变了空间体验。

 

此次改造最引人入胜的莫过于两座玻璃亭屋的引入。第一座玻璃亭屋与历史建筑结构完美融合,在不影响建筑真实性的前提下,提供了温控茶饮区。其钢架结构与原有木梁交织,创造出新旧之间的迷人对话。第二座独立玻璃亭屋矗立于庭院中,容纳了茶吧和配套设施。其竹钢复合结构呼应了传统屋檐的曲线轮廓,为传统工艺提供了一个现代诠释。

 

水景从庭院延伸至室内,模糊了界限,创造出室内外空间的流畅过渡。这种元素的相互作用营造出一个充满活力、引人深思的环境,邀请访客思考过去与现在的关系。

 

通过这次精巧的改造设计,设计师不仅保存了一段百年建筑遗产,更创造了一个精致、引人入胜的空间,在尊重历史根源的同时,与现代审美产生共鸣。

 

团队 – 奥室建筑(Ao. Archlab)成立于2020年,总部位于上海,迅速崛起为一家前沿的建筑设计公司,不断突破空间实验的界限,以用户体验为中心进行设计创新。"奥室"一词源自建筑物内最隐秘的空间,完美诠释了其探索人类体验与建筑形态之间深刻关系的核心理念。

 

奥室建筑由首席建筑师杨奡和首席合伙人詹梦婕领衔,汇聚了丰富的国际专业经验。杨奡毕业于清华大学和东京大学,曾在隈研吾建筑都市设计事务所工作;詹梦婕则在布林茅尔学院和哥伦比亚大学攻读城市学和历史保护,为项目带来了对建筑场地和其历史的深刻理解。

 

奥室建筑的设计方法特点在于对建筑元素(尺度、功能和材质)与人类行为和情感之间互动关系的精细关注。公司采用实验性方法研究人体与空间形态的关系,最终打造出以用户体验为核心的环境。

 

他们的作品集展示了从历史建筑改造到前卫新建筑的多样化项目,每一个都体现了创新与环境敏感度之间的完美平衡。奥室建筑始终致力于创造既富有功能效率又能引发情感共鸣的空间。

 

通过将严谨的学术研究与实用的设计方案相结合,奥室建筑正在重新定义当代中国建筑的边界,创造出不仅仅是被建造,更是被深刻体验的空间。

 

 

Feature:

Project - In a striking fusion of heritage and modernity, a century-old wooden Chinese residence has been masterfully transformed into a captivating commercial teahouse. This groundbreaking project, nestled at the foot of Moganshan, breathes new life into one of the last remaining examples of traditional Jiangnan architecture in the area.

 

The designers have deftly balanced preservation with innovation, creating a space that respects its historical roots while embracing contemporary needs. By strategically trimming sections of the exterior surface, roof, and second-story floorboards, they have allowed natural light and air to permeate the once-dark interior, dramatically altering the spatial experience.

 

Perhaps the most intriguing aspect of the redesign is the introduction of two glass pavilions. The first, seamlessly integrated within the historic structure, provides climate-controlled tea-drinking areas without compromising the building's authenticity. Its steel frame interlaces with the original wooden beams, creating a captivating dialogue between old and new.

 

The second pavilion, standing independently in the courtyard, houses a tea bar and amenities. Its bamboo-steel composite structure echoes the curvilinear profile of the historic eaves, offering a contemporary interpretation of traditional craftsmanship.

 

Water features extend from the courtyard into the interior, blurring boundaries and creating a fluid transition between indoor and outdoor spaces. This interplay of elements generates a dynamic, thought-provoking environment that invites visitors to contemplate the relationship between past and present.

 

Through this thoughtful renovation, the designers have not only preserved a piece of architectural heritage but have also created a sophisticated, engaging space that resonates with modern sensibilities while honoring its historical roots.

 

Design Team - Founded in Shanghai in 2020, Ao. Archlab has quickly established itself as a cutting-edge architectural design firm, pushing the boundaries of spatial experimentation and user-centric design. The name "Ao," referring to the most intimate spaces within a building, reflects the firm's core philosophy of exploring the profound relationship between human experience and architectural form.

 

Led by principal architect Ao Yang and principal partner MJ Zhan, Ao. Archlab brings together a wealth of international expertise. Yang, with degrees from Tsinghua University and the University of Tokyo, honed his skills at Kengo Kuma & Associates, while Zhan's background in urban studies and historic preservation from Bryn Mawr College and Columbia University brings a nuanced understanding of context and heritage to their projects.

 

Ao. Archlab's approach is characterized by a meticulous focus on the interplay between architectural elements - scale, function, and materiality - and their impact on human behavior and emotion. The firm employs experimental methodologies to investigate the relationship between the human body and spatial morphology, resulting in environments that prioritize user experience.

 

Their portfolio showcases a range of projects that demonstrate a masterful balance between innovation and contextual sensitivity. From adaptive reuse of heritage structures to avant-garde new constructions, Ao. Archlab consistently delivers spaces that are both functionally efficient and emotionally resonant.

 

By combining rigorous academic research with practical design solutions, Ao. Archlab is redefining the boundaries of contemporary Chinese architecture, creating spaces that are not just built, but profoundly experienced.
