Bates Smart raises the creative bar at Teahouse Crown Sydney

Step into the opulent Teahouse Crown Sydney, and you feel as if you’re worlds away from Barangaroo.

The venue’s interior design refers to the Chinese Imperial style of the 19th century, and features embroidered silk fabrics, gilded and embossed wallpapers, bespoke carpets, and plush velvets on soft furnishings, as well as custom-designed lighting.

“It shows an absolute attention to detail resolution and meticulous crafting to understand the materiality and, in this instance, a theatrical interior. It transports you to another place, it’s an escapist experience,” said Bates Smart Director, Jeff Copolov.

 Bates Smart is an architectural firm based in Australia that has been involved in a number of high-profile projects, including the Teahouse at Crown Sydney. The Teahouse is a key component of the Crown Sydney development, which is a mixed-use project that includes a casino, luxury hotel, and residential apartments.

The Teahouse was designed to be a modern interpretation of traditional Chinese teahouses, with a focus on creating a calm and tranquil atmosphere. Bates Smart's design for the Teahouse incorporates a number of unique features, including a sculptural timber ceiling that was inspired by the shape of a Chinese lantern.

In addition to its unique design, the Teahouse also features a range of high-quality materials and finishes, including custom-made timber furniture and elegant lighting fixtures. The overall effect is a space that feels both luxurious and peaceful, with a strong connection to Chinese culture and tradition.

Bates Smart's work on the Teahouse at Crown Sydney demonstrates the firm's commitment to raising the creative bar and pushing the boundaries of architectural design. Their attention to detail and ability to blend traditional and modern elements make their work stand out in the industry.
