Named after its charred-larch cladding, this tearoom designed by Czech studio A1 Architects sits next to a lake in a woodland area near the city of Česká Lípa in the Czech Republic. Its sliding doors can be opened for enhanced connectivity with the surrounding nature, or closed to create a more secluded oasis. At the center of the space is a hearth with a teapot suspended from a sisial rope-domed ceiling above it.
