Looking to build a Japanese Tea House in your garden? Here are a few tips on common design elements used in Japanese architecture… Subscribe for updates.
I've just come across your video. Like yourself, I decided to go for a slate roof and I managed to source very cheap 'Spanish' slate from 'bankrupt stock' early in March this year. That reduced costs massively. The garden you have designed and keep seems pretty tidy compared to mine at the moment. Unfortunately, I have neglected the garden side due to the construction of the tea house and ensuring the pond and its inhabitants survive (Koi). The tea house you have built appears a lot more open than the one I am building. I intend to completely seal it from the weather when it is complete sometime in early 2021. The garden is becoming full time to be honest. Anyway, keep up the good work and tips.
Japanese is about simplicity but there's definitely nothing simple with this that it became painful to the eyes!!! SERIOUSLY, HOW HARD IS IT TO MAKE A SIMPLE QUADRILATERAL BUILDING WITH QUADRILATERAL WINDOWS & SLIDING DOORS!!!
DEFINITELY, THE WORD JAPANESE HERE IS CLICKBAIT!!!

Looking pretty good! Congratulations I hope to build one in our backyard as well. 一期一會。
Sorry if I missed it but was there a book or two that helped in planning aspects such as the joinery or the mudding of the walls?
