What are the main points of home teahouse design?

Design and Layout of Business Teahouses

The construction and decoration of tea houses can be discussed by architects and tea artists according to the surrounding environment, and they can have their own styles and characteristics. However, judging from the functional requirements of the teahouse, its architecture should include the main building and ancillary facilities. The main buildings should include tea tasting room, tea room and refreshment room; Auxiliary facilities are small warehouses, workshops for managers and service personnel (including changing clothes and making up), toilets, etc.

First, the design of the teahouse.

The design of the main building varies according to the size of the teahouse. Generally, there are the following design schemes:

1, large teahouse

Tea room: It can be composed of a hall and a small room. Teahouses must set up a tea performance stage in the hall, using a desk service performance, not a performance stage in a small room. According to the different structure of the house, it can be divided into scattered seats, hall seats, card seats and room seats (boxes), and one or two of them can be selected and arranged reasonably.

End of banquet: Round table or square table is placed in the lobby, and each table is equipped with 4-8 chairs according to its size. The distance between the tables is the width of the sides of the two chairs plus the width of the passage of 60 cm, so that guests can go in and out freely without feeling crowded.

Hall seat: several tables are placed in a hall at the same distance. The four walls of the hall are decorated with calligraphy and painting banners, and the four corners are decorated with flowers or green plants, giving the hall its name. It is best to arrange the self-style of each hall and room, and cooperate with the corresponding tea drinking customs to make people feel immersive.

Card stand: similar to western-style coffee stand. Each booth is equipped with a small rectangular table with long high-backed chairs on both sides, and the back of the chair serves as the space between the seats. Four people can sit in each booth, sitting opposite each other, drinking tea and chatting. The wall is decorated with wall lamps and wall hangings.

Room seats: a large space is divided into several small rooms, using various materials. There are only 1-2 tables and chairs in the room, and the walls are beautifully decorated and relatively closed, which can be used for business talks or gatherings of relatives and friends. Generally, seats need to be reserved in advance, and full-time service staff will help arrange and serve. You can put a sign at the door to avoid being disturbed by others.

Tea room: It should be divided into two rooms, the outer room is the supply room, a big window is opened on the wall, facing the tea room, and there are tea cabinets, tea sets cabinets, electronic disinfection cabinets, refrigerators and so on. A water heater (such as a small boiler, an electric boiling water tank and an electric teapot), an incubator, a sink, a faucet, a water purifier, a water storage tank, a washing workbench, a clothes rack and a drying tray are installed inside.

Sake room: it is also divided into two rooms. The outer room is the supply room, which is opposite to the tea tasting room. There are two kinds of food cabinets, dry food cabinets and refrigerated food cabinets, as well as tea trays, bowls, chopsticks, spoons and other utensils cabinets. The inner room is a workshop dedicated to making snacks or a hot spot. If you don't supply this kind of refreshments, you can simply set up a sink, faucet, washstand, clothes rack and drying tray.

2. Small tea room.

Tea tasting room: you can mix and match a banquet, a booth and a tea performance table in one room. Pay attention to the appropriate use of space, not messy, pay attention to patchwork, each with its own strengths.

Tea room and refreshment room: set up a counter in the tea room to keep it clean and tidy.

Second, the layout of the teahouse.

The layout of the teahouse is a comprehensive embodiment of the master's cultural accomplishment. In order to fully show the role of tea room in cultivating sentiment and cultivating self-cultivation, we need to make some efforts in the layout of tea room to make it reasonable and practical and have different aesthetic tastes. Throughout the layout of modern tea rooms, there are generally the following types to choose from:

1, Chinese classical style.

Indoor furniture adopts Ming-style tables and chairs, made of high-grade wood such as mahogany and rosewood, and inlaid with marble and mother-of-pearl (imitation mahogany can be used for those with limited funds). The wall frame can be carved by hollowing out or embossed in three dimensions. China paintings and calligraphy are used as wall decoration, supplemented by flower arrangement, bonsai and other decorations. For example, the imitation tea room of China Tea Museum in Hangzhou is the traditional living room. Opposite the gate are the inner hall and the outer hall, separated by a wooden wall, with painting scrolls hanging in the middle and couplets on both sides. A long coffee table with a wall and a big vase on it. There is a square table (or square table) in front of the center of the long coffee table, and a plush chair is installed on each side of the table. The whole structure is concise and rigorous, full of everyone's style. Another example is the teahouse in the lobby of Shanghai Wangyiji Teahouse. There is a tea performance table in the carving fan, mahogany tables and chairs and marble tabletops in the hall. Pots and teapots like tea are displayed on the wall shelf, and all kinds of calligraphy and painting are hung on the wall. Another example is the lobby of Hangzhou Academy Tea House, which is decorated with a mahogany shell carving screen in the middle and a guzheng stage on one side, with tables and chairs scattered in the hall; There is a mahogany round table and eight mahogany armchairs in the center of the room, and various decorations are placed on the niche.

2. China local style.

The layout of this teahouse focuses on rendering the taste of Shan Ye, so the indoor furniture is made of wood, bamboo and rattan, and the style is simple but not vulgar, with no paint or only varnish. Generally, there is no need to decorate the wall unnecessarily. In order to set off the atmosphere, you can hang some decorations on the wall, such as hemp fiber, straw hat, fishing gear or corncob, dried red pepper string, gourd, etc., which makes people feel like they are in Shan Ye, fishing village and water town. For example, in the interior of Hangzhou Taiji Teahouse, you can see a tea performance stage, wooden tables and chairs, wall lamps and a bar in turn. For example, in some teahouses in Chengdu, Sichuan, all the tables and chairs are made of bamboo, and small hooks are hung on the beams for tea drinkers to hang bird cages and drink tea while teasing birds.

In addition, China is a multi-ethnic country, and each ethnic minority has its own unique national culture and eating habits, and drinking tea also has its own characteristics. We can learn from their customs and habits and apply them to the layout of the teahouse, so that guests can feel the rich ethnic customs while enjoying tea.

3. European style, harmonious style.

The arrangement of this tea room is just like the decoration of foreign tea rooms, creating an exotic atmosphere. European-style tea rooms have more card seats, which is the most common one. In addition, music teahouses, which are widely popular in metropolises, generally belong to this category. Harmonious teahouse refers to the arrangement of Japanese teahouse, that is, tatami is laid indoors, and guests take off their shoes, change slippers and sit on the floor at the entrance. The overall layout is extremely simple and lively, either hanging a picture or inserting a flower, such as the Harmonious Tea Room of the China Tea Museum in Hangzhou.
