YIN XI” Teahouse, Jing’an Temple, Shanghai, China

 

Vermilion Zhou Design Group presents “YIN XI” Teahouse, Jing’an Temple, a project of great cultural significance in Shanghai, China.

Atmosphere: “YIN XI” teahouse offers the subtle essence of “hidden” tea culture in Shanghai’s bustling life. It stands out with its diverse presence and differentiated spatial experiences, becoming a hallmark of the brand. The inherent “uniqueness” of the Jing’an Temple branch naturally becomes its connecting feature.

“Gold”: At the Jing’an Temple, the auspiciousness of the golden apex shines brightly with radiance, and lingering sunlight reflects hues reminiscent of tea.

“Sound”: Springs pouring tea, gurgling as the liquid flows, resonating with tranquillity. 

“Water”: Calm ripples reflecting light, merging the real with the imaginary. 

Teahouse

If the “third space” bestows upon contemporary life an indispensable realm of public communication, apart from personal and workspaces, teahouses are a revival of Chinese cultural essence after introspection.

Domain

Exploring the realm of “tea” and elevating its significance, whether through savouring its flavours or enjoying its brew, unveils a spectrum of depths and nuances. However, the rich currents of tea culture have run in Chinese blood for millennia. Teahouses are profound symbols of China’s historical trade prosperity, functioning as vibrant centres for entertainment, emotional connections, and business transactions.

In the modern era’s growing diversity, teahouses have evolved into realms that seamlessly integrate function and experiential satisfaction.

The “YIN XI” teahouse, the convergence of “gold,” “sound,” and “water”, creates a secluded detachment, isolating the clamour of the outside world and allowing one to experience its “rippling” and “courtyard” charms and more.
