Programme Chengdu is famous for its tea houses, which are a key part of the social life of the region. Set at the foot of the Qingcheng Mountain this tea house comprises five interlinked courtyard buildings huddled together with narrow passages in between. The first is empty, providing an arrival space, and the last houses kitchen and living areas, with the tea rooms in the three central structures. All are clad with local slate, which will gradually be covered in green moss in the humid, rainy climate of the area. Local craftsmen were involved in the design and construction of the traditional wooden roof structure.

VI. PROJECT DESCRIPTION

VII. MATERIALS, STRUCTURE, AND CONSTRUCTION

The "Stone Courtyard" Teahouse

The “Stone Courtyard” Tea House is located close to Daguan Town at the foot of the Qingcheng Mountain near Chengdu. With total area of500 square meters, the tea house is actually comprised of five separate courtyard buildings stand very close to each other. The first buildingis an empty front courtyard; the last building functions as living courtyards; and the other three buildings function as tea courtyards.

Local craftsmen were involved in the design and construction of the wooden roof structure. Looking from interior the wooden roof wouldhave been completely traditional if the columns near the patio were not carefully removed.

The stone wall is built exclusively of a type of local slate, which will be cover by green moose in a few years after exposed in the rainy andhumid weather of Chengdu.
