Tea House



 
 


Tucked into a ravine tight against a water-worn sandstone cliff in the Pacific Northwest, this tea house is the terminus for a meandering path in a garden that borrows heavily from Asian traditions.

Placement of the building was arranged to frame the weathered bedrock in a circular window.
