Using interpretation of “Neo-orientalism” as a starting point, the spatial layout of Zen Joy features a design of an all-embracing style. By combining needs derived from different types of tea drinking, a layout distinct from that of traditional tea culture is fashioned. Incorporated in a two-story space are the philosophies of Confucianism, Buddhism and Taoism in traditional Chinese tea culture, as well as wabi-sabi sensibility of the Japanese tea ceremony.
