MastersDegreeProjectJapaneseTeaHouseDesign ‐TheoreticalCommons Park, Denver,CO

This project involved the development  of a building, site and interior design  for a public Japanese Tea House in a  Denver park. This involved pre‐design  research on the Japanese tea  ceremony and culture along with a site  analysis. Also, incorporating a 20th  Century Modern style was required.

Project Concept:The concept and program was  developed relating to a ceremonial  progression to and inside the  structure. I worked at resolving privacy  issues, and integrated both function  and aesthetics. I included the idea of  “wabi‐sabi” ‐‐beauty through  imperfection. I learned that some of  the most dynamic spaces are thosethat are “in‐between” others, similar to  dramatic pauses in music.
