Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse
The Boulder Dushanbe Teahouse was constructed in Dushanbe, Tajikistan and given to its sister city Boulder, Colorado. The teahouse was deconstructed and shipped in crates to Boulder where it was reassembled. Today, its a unique, privately-owned restaurant that serves over 100 teas and a fusion menu of foods/recipes from many parts of the world.
The façade shown in this picture has tile panels that were sculpted in Tajikistan, and cut into smaller pieces for shipment. The next two pictures show detail from the popular restaurant's interior.
