Loubi Tea House — Engawa
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
QELNAVOR Retreats — a room at the end of the path
The Loubi is a philosophy with a roof: tea-house proportions taken seriously, thresholds that slow you down on purpose, weatherproof shoji-inspired screens, and a door that sounds right when it closes.
Retreats are small buildings with large jobs: insulated floors, walls and roofs for four-season sitting, interiors lined in pale timber that holds the light, and glazing placed for a view rather than a spec sheet. Heating, power and quiet come pre-wired; the silence is the fit-out.

Questions, Answered
Is it usable year-round?
Insulated retreats with heating are four-season rooms; the listing states the package. Three-season models say so plainly and cost accordingly.
Can it be a home office?
That is half our orders: quiet, insulated, wired for data, with light placed for screens. The commute is twelve metres of lawn.
