A hidden Japanese Tea Space behind the busy central part of Bangkok

The space representing the idea of Sichu no Sankyo, the rural hat in the city with a small packet garden and layering as a way for escpaing.

There are 2 tea spaces inside to enjoy a mood of Shoin, and Soan.

Main tea bar space made with dark filtered light with rigid framing to share a sense of formality, in Shoin style.

Workshop space with 3 tatami space with lighter color, with exterior view share a sense of casual mood, in Soan style.

The tea house is a demountable stand alone structure built within an existing house to make a space within a space.
