Tea Corner: The Architecture of Gathering

At the busiest four-way intersection of the village, where the Canal current, farmers' fields, and the movement of trucks merge, stands this humble tea stall. It is more than just a place to drink tea-it is a daily destination for boatmen, farmers, bus and truck drivers, a resting place, and a hub for storytelling.The structure of the stall is completely open, allowing natural light and air to flow freely. Built using bamboo, wood, and locally sourced materials, it seamlessly blends into the rural landscape. The tea-making area is placed at the center, ensuring that people from all sides can sit together. The seating arrangements are designed with the river breeze and the shifting shade of the sun in mind, making it comfortable to sit here at any time of the day or night.This tea corner is not just a spot for drinking tea-it has become a center for conversation, relaxation, and social connection. The balance of light and air creates a comfortable and lively atmosphere where tea is just an excuse, but building relationships is the real essence. It is a simple yet heartfelt fusion of architecture and daily life-a permanentaddress for gathering.
