The project proposes a space for people to release and escape urban stress in Silvertown, East London. It contains private tea houses, skywalks, a watch tower, and a club, where timber serves as the main material to form a fragile and delicate overground structure, juxtaposing the robust underground palette of concrete and granite.
The design of the building embraces Asian culture and their vernacular usage of timber as an architectural material. It explores the possibilities of combining two spatial languages and creating a dialogue of contrast between human reactions, pulling the space into suspension.
