Olinda Tea House by Smith + Tracey Architects
The Olinda Tea House by Smith + Tracey Architects in Olinda, Australia, was created for the owners of a 17-acre wholesale flower and foliage farm. They desired to create a tea house to fulfill a retirement dream. Previously on the site, they had a small tea room and nursery but wished for something more dramatic. This new modern pavilion style building with butterfly roof allows for a large tranquil, light-filled space.

I want to have tea there! It’s beautiful.
Absolutely stunning. Natural, intuitive and completely essential. With the kind of tranquility I imagine in a traditional East Asian tea house. Well done that couple – I wish I lived on the other side of the world!
