EGRET・WATERSIDE LODGE
an art space tea room
that integrates nature and humanity
“Returning to the pond, everything is still the same, and the lotus flowers of Taiye have not yet bloomed with willows”
——Juyi Bai 《Song of Everlasting Regret》
In line with the spirit of 'one pond and three mountains',
It embodies the ideal pursuit of the integration of nature and culture.
One pond and three mountains ", as the name suggests, consist of" one pond "and" three mountains ". One pond "refers to the Taiye Pond, while" Three Mountains "usually refer to the three mountains of Penglai, Fangzhang, and Yingzhou. The phrase 'one pond and three mountains' represents an ideal state that transcends reality, encouraging people to seek spiritual sustenance and peace of mind in real life. This is an ideal representation of the pursuit of perfection and eternity in traditional Chinese culture.
This project takes the lake as the background and three small islands as inspiration. In the design, the concept of "one pool and three mountains" is integrated into the overall layout, aiming to create a harmonious and natural space. We take natural elements as the core and adopt a minimalist design style, allowing people to experience the essence of tea ceremony in a peaceful environment. In this peaceful place, tea is not only a beverage, but also a medium for dialogue with nature, bringing relaxation and deep contemplation to people's body and mind.
