This is a different view of the tea house. The low bamboo fence helps to define the relation of the tea house to the garden. The ridge roof architectural style (kirizuma) is very evident in this photo. The roof has layered cedar shingles and is topped at the ridge with Japanese ceramic tiles.

Custom snack bar end with awning shutters and a cypress countertop by Historic Shed

The elements in the Tea House are arranged in accordance with the Bagua.
The walls are finished in Japanese stucco, with cedar wainscoting, and straight grain Douglas Fir trim. The cathedral ceiling is framed in Cedar, with cedar tongue and groove planking.
The floor is straight grain Douglas Fir.
A custom table was designed to fit below the far window, made from the same slab of Utile that was used for the ridge beam.

One of my favorite objects I've ever created. Just stunning. The Japanese inspired fence work by the firm as well.

With walls of pocketing glass doors that open the space for abundant activities from inside to out and Tropical landscapes, Little Diamond Head welcomes everyone who enters.

Our client has a large collection of bonsai trees and wanted an exhibition space for the extensive collection and a workshop to tend to the growing plants. Together we came up with a plan for a beautiful garden with plenty of space and a water feature. The design also included a Japanese-influenced pavilion in the middle of the garden. The pavilion is comprised of three separate rooms. The first room is features a tokonoma, a small recessed space to display art. The second, and largest room, provides an open area for display. The room can be accessed by large glass folding doors and has plenty of natural light filtering through the skylights above. The third room is a workspace with tool storage.

The handrails and balusters were collected from the property and hand crafted on site.
