The Story

Design
Narrative

Jade Terrace translates the rituals of Chinese tea ceremony into a spatial experience. Guests pass through a sequence of mood-shifts: the entry vestibule, darkened and intimate; the main hall, soaring and communal; the private dining rooms, each cocoon-like with their own color temperature. Bamboo screens — woven by artisans in Chiang Mai — filter light into shifting geometric patterns throughout the day. The jade-green pendant lights in the private rooms are the signature gesture, casting a warm green glow that transforms the complexion of every diner. Even the bar terrazzo was custom-mixed to include jade aggregate, a detail almost no one notices consciously but everyone feels.
