The “Tea House” project was unique for us in many ways. We first constructed this inspiring structure using cedar tree posts mounted on antique millstones, and utilizing antique teak beams that were repurposed from an Indonesian Buddhist temple. These hand-hewn rafters dated back approximately 400 years, and working with them was truly phenomenal.
And yet what might be more phenomenal is that after several years standing in its original location in Millbrook, NY, we were called upon to meticulously move it many miles away. We carefully dismantled the tea house, created schematics and marked all the pieces for future reconstruction. After a brief stint in storage, we put the entire structure back together, piece by piece, until it rested securely in its new home. This was an epic and satisfying project.
