Tea House Muštelka

We created a place for gathering and contemplation. First, the visitor must cross the river, where they symbolically free themselves from everyday worries and ascend to an artificial island, which at that moment is a world just for them. The surrounding landscape is the periphery of Kralupy nad Vltavou, partly brownfield, but it is quiet and full of nature. In the tea house, one side is dedicated to views that the building frames. By rotating, you can choose its direction or degree of sunlight or remain separated from the surroundings by a curtain. In terms of shape, we chose a simple form based on the symbol of human habitation. The floor plan is square, with seating along the perimeter, and the space in the middle is designated for tea preparation. The construction is primarily made of wood, mostly nailed together. In contact with the pillar are only wheels and a steel anchoring peg - the axis of rotation. The materials are natural, mostly recycled. The cost was minimal. The muštelka is for everyone. You are cordially invited. Tea to go.
We wish you a pleasant experience H3T architects

The word muštelka first appeared in the Krkonošská pohádka. It is not a zoological term, but rather a linguistic construct inspired by the Latin name Mustela sibirica (Siberian marten), also Kolonocus sibiricus (kolonok). The Latin name Mustela refers to the entire genus of carnivores in the weasel family. The most common of our weasels is the least weasel (Mustela nivalis). In the fur industry, the least weasel, Chinese weasel (Chinese marten), and Japanese weasel (Japanese marten) are significant. The designation muštelka has become so common in Czech that it is routinely used to name various mustelids.
