"Dead moonlight is born from the exhausted horizon",
And "the sadness of the streets"
Makes her feel suffocated.
The city is a place where many people struggle, but in many cases it also makes people feel extremely tired. Today, with the rise of tea culture and coffee culture, various tea rooms and cafes are not only places for people to relax, but also become a cultural gathering place.
Compared with the street tea houses and cafes that can be seen everywhere in the city, it is better to go into nature to have tea in the mountains and drink coffee at the seaside. Let people escape from the noise of the city and wash away their daily fatigue. Throw away the present, talk to nature, sort out your mood and return.
Next, I will take you into the mountains, countryside and seaside.
Appreciate those buildings far away from the city.
Have a cup of green tea and make a cup of coffee.
Go through the noise and reach nature.

Walking into the museum, large-area floor-to-ceiling windows give guests the greatest viewing experience and bring people closer to nature. Order a cup of authentic hand-ground coffee at the bar and start a whole day's leisure time.
Cement paint keeps the tonality of space simple, while light-colored solid wood floor brings a little temperature. The abstract painting at the corner inadvertently fell into another kind of sinking mood.
The whole cafe is not decorated too much, but more is the spiritual blending of coffee and nature. The space atmosphere is simple, quiet and natural, as if under the appearance of old objects, it shows a kind of beauty full of years.

809 Factory is located in Xialao Stream, a suburb of Yichang, Hubei Province, China, about 30 minutes' drive from the urban area. The buildings in the factory area are divided into hotel part and supporting entertainment part. The hotel part consists of lobby, art exhibition hall, four guest rooms and western restaurant, and the supporting entertainment part consists of reception center, Chinese restaurant, book bar, time auditorium, parent-child activity center and cliff top tea bar.
The natural environment here is beautiful. Standing at the cliff mouth overlooking the upper reaches of Xialao Stream, it has excellent scenery and is a rare "beautiful place" of natural scenery in the factory. Standing by the stream under the cliff, the stream, the stone cliff and the vegetation on the top of the mountain form a very beautiful picture.
The starting point of the design is to think about two pairs of variables: "complexity and simplicity" and "lightness and weight". The elaboration of building blocks starts from simplicity, and produces complex and vivid visual effects with simple design methods, so that the building and its surrounding environment can achieve a dynamic balance of both integrity and vividness.
In order to express the "light" state of the building in the environment, the design team chose glass and white aluminum plate as the exterior materials of the building. Building lighting is mainly based on internal light transmission, and only a light source is arranged behind the perforated part of aluminum plate, forming a unique pattern at night.
The interior of Yading Tea Bar adopts white and wood color as the main tone, the wall and top are simple white, and the ground floor adopts light wood color, which is comfortable and warm. The sun shines through the huge glass curtain wall and introduces the beautiful scenery into the indoor space.

The architect didn't choose to build the coffee shop directly on the top of the mountain, but hid it in the mountains and extended outward to look at the plantation. It is hoped that through this design, the panoramic view of the top of the mountain can be maintained, so that tourists can enjoy the scenery of the plantation in an all-round way. On the roof, people can not only feel the natural atmosphere of the park, but also observe the scene of tea farmers picking tea.
The main building consists of three suspended and extended volumes in different directions, and their scales and proportions vary according to their respective uses. Functional areas include restaurants, cafes, tea shops and bathrooms, and the overall structure of the building is full of challenges.
Designers hope to make the indoor space into a style that is harmonious with the outdoor, full of natural flavor and can show the vitality of raw materials.
In order to achieve the unity of indoor and outdoor design, the iconic diagonal wood grain outside the building is used in the display rack of souvenir shop to promote the sales of goods. Wood and steel are also used together to build common product racks. Choui Fong products, such as candy, teacups and especially authentic local tea, are placed on the shelves in the store.

countryside
Coordinates: Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou
Unbounded Xixi Tea Room is located in Xixi National Wetland Park in Hangzhou. Xixi, which covers an area of 1 1.5 square kilometers, is surrounded by winding waters, mountains, famous gardens and ancient temples, and there are many Luting sand dunes.
On the basis of protecting the traditional column and beam structure, the designer did subtraction for the design, and adopted large floor-to-ceiling glass to expose the skeleton of the building itself and walk into it, which has a sense of fiction and fact crisscross, which means that everything is like a dream bubble in Buddhism.
Slowly go deep into the space along the entrance gravel road, and at the end is a miniature natural landscape. When sunlight penetrates the glass and shoots into space, everything seems to have life with the swing of light and shadow.
The designer skillfully divided the grid of the public reception area into the traditional word "nothing", which highlighted the unbounded brand culture in the space.
On the other side of the front hall, a landscape was made, with an ancient chair and a candle lamp. A branch from the surrounding trees hung on the top. When the light shone, the white wall showed a winding projection, and the beautiful scenery of Xixi continued indoors, which was also the embodiment of the unbounded concept.
In order to make the facade free, white walls, glass surfaces and traditional wooden columns keep a certain distance, which is like some kind of spiritual dialogue, resulting in the beauty of distance.
The landscape tea space on both sides of the courtyard was transformed from the original storage room. The original space was opened and expanded, and a chair was placed to enjoy the outdoor scenery at any time.
There is a large meeting space in the teahouse, where meetings and forums can be held for communication. Tea and sightseeing make the meeting a pleasant thing, blur the boundaries of rules and make thinking more efficient and meaningful.
The design of each tea space is tailor-made according to different landscape environments. The tea space here is surrounded by a bamboo forest, and at the same time, it incorporates a little contemporary elements, and the unbounded dialogue between the ancient and the present, sitting on the floor and enjoying the fun of talking about tea in the bamboo forest.
The concept of restaurant design is to put a "glass box" into the bamboo forest landscape, which combines nature and space vividly. It embodies the idea that tradition and modernity are born, and human architecture and nature are born.

The project is located on the bank of Taihu Lake with beautiful scenery, covering an area of 400. There are old houses all around. Four seasons of lake light and the most beautiful sunset are the definitions of this simple white building. Flocks of seagulls hover around the building, taste coffee in the lake and feel the gift of nature.
The building has three floors, the basement is used as the kitchen, the first floor and the second floor are used as the dining area, and the platform built on the top of the original tiles is the best place to view the lake. The bread kiln made by people in the courtyard can bake bread manually.
The designer added many curved windows to cut the light. Whether in the early morning twilight or the afternoon sunset, they are all floating in space and falling on people's shoulders.
When the designer dismantled the space, the original six columns of the bar on the first floor were integrated into the teak material and partition modeling.
In the public guest area, the original long window is extended to the ground, and the other window is curved, so that everyone who stays in the public guest area can enjoy the lake view of the four seasons outside the window. The chairs are arranged neatly, and the booth area seems to run through all the wheels. The designer separates them and distinguishes them from the feeling level.
Covering part of the top surface of the original building, the designer gives it high and low blocks and divides them appropriately to leave room. Folding mesh doors are both decorative and partition, which can expand the space at any time. The long hole left on the wall steals jujube trees from the backyard.
The remolded space is far from the original building, and the designer tries to break through from a certain point and realize the transformation. Further strip off complex elements and extract geometric relations.
It is not boring for people to move, sit still, or walk in space. Moving space can add more interest. The arc suggests a gentle way to talk to space. It is also a dialogue with yourself in space.

Mysterious caves under sand dunes, cafes in art galleries.
Coordinates: Qinhuangdao
On the beach in Changli County, Bohai Bay in northern China, OPEN designed a hidden art museum, like a mysterious cave hidden under a sand dune. The location of the art museum under the sand dunes is both awe of nature and protection.
Inspired by the children's game of digging sand at the seaside, the architect tried to "dig" in the sand dunes to create some interconnected "caves" with different shapes and a series of cellular continuous spaces, which constituted the rich functions of the sand dune art museum, such as how to see the coffee shop in the sea.
Looking at the sea from the inside of Dune Art Museum, through different holes and at different times, the sea is a different landscape. A spiral staircase leading to the viewing platform at the top of the sand dune leads people to follow the light from the darkness of the cave until they suddenly find themselves between the sky and the vast sea.
The doors and windows, reception desk, bar and bathroom sink in Dune Art Museum are all made by hand, and the eight tables in the cafe are also designed and customized by architects according to the different plane shapes of each exhibition hall.
Cafe is integrated with nature in form, and a series of energy-saving measures used in its construction system have also achieved the sustainability of the building as much as possible.

In order to make people get the best view in the building, the architect maximizes the length of the opening facing the sea and the beach, and leaves the central part blank according to the given floor area ratio, and seats are arranged along the edge of the building, so that more people can enjoy the beautiful scenery.
In the building, long continuous spaces with different heights are superimposed on each other and connected by connecting bridges; Seats are set on a wide corridor circling around the central hole, allowing users to enjoy the sea view and other rich landscapes of nature.
There are many flat beds in the outdoor space of the building, which is a kind of outdoor furniture and is usually used for group activities such as tea parties in the community. The architect gave up building a wide terrace on the beach and replaced it with a series of flat beds.
The inclined concrete wall rises gradually, and the height exceeds that of the surrounding pine trees, which makes it possible to look at the line where the sea and the sky blend in the distance on the roof layer and have a panoramic view of the whole coastline.
