Varenna Tea House — Engawa
Tax included where applicable. Delivery and commissioning arranged by your concierge.
QELNAVOR Retreats — a room at the end of the path
At the end of the path should stand a reason to walk it; the Varenna is that reason — an engawa edge for the in-between hour, pale timber holding the light, and silence fitted as standard.
A tea house is a philosophy with a roof: proportions taken seriously, thresholds that slow you down on purpose, and joinery clean enough to hold the ritual. Ours are built by carpenters who understand that the door should sound right when it closes.

Re-oil exposed timber every two to three years — one weekend, supplied oil — and clear roof gutters each autumn. Check fixings at year one, then forget them. Shingles and finials are stocked parts; storms are repaired, not mourned.
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.
The QELNAVOR Promise
One standard across the range: if it would not stand a Bohemian winter in our own display garden, it does not ship with the QELNAVOR mark.
