Suspended Backyard Sitting

Everyone needs a personal sanctuary in which to wind down, and this house in suburban Maryland has fostered the sacred on-site in this Tea House by David Jameson Architects

Inspired by the form of a Japanese lantern, the bamboo-embraced Tea House by David Jameson hangs serenely from a steel frame overhead. This glass-and-bronze box serves as the perfect place for a book and hot green tea, a meditation session or a musical recital featuring one of the family’s talented children.
