Our design is a distillation of the process of herbal tea production, the Latvian wilderness and traditional rural Latvian building typologies where the hearth was the focal point of shelters.

A considered approach has been taken to design a building that sits comfortably in the current context. Careful attention has been paid to the material choices to reflect the function of the building while being aesthetically distinct and proudly represent the Lauku Tea brand and your continued narrative.

We have thoughtfully composed a building that opens up to nature so that guests can experience more of their surroundings while they work. During periods of undesirable weather conditions, the building can be sealed off to protect the tea producers from the elements.

Hear(th) is home is a competition entry for the Teamaker's guesthouse competition for which we an honourable mention and worked in collaboration with Wave Digital Engineers.
