Pan Projects creates floating Teahouse Ø on Copenhagen canal
London architecture studio Pan Projects has designed Teahouse Ø as the first in a series of floating pavilions aimed at opening up Copenhagen's canals to the public.
Created with Danish designer Helene Christina Pedersen, Teahouse Ø was informed by the way in which the surface of the water changes, reflecting both its surrounding environment and the seasons.

Made in a local Copenhagen workshop, the roof and base of the teahouse were made with a wood structure clad in fibre-reinforced, plastic-covered styrofoam.
Numerous transparent, acrylic tubes were suspended from its roof to create an effect that resembles running water.
