Mobile Tea House


In 2010 Studio Kortmann designed a mobile tea house for the city of Dordrecht, in order to offer comfort, a meeting place and a physical hub for the neighborhood. Several people and local organizations make use of the tea house, in several neighborhoods. Four years down the road, the tea house is being used regularly without complications and additional costs: a sound investment!


This concept is also available in other configurations, to transform it into a mobile stage, a restroom, a garden house without building permission, etc.
