Project Description:
Designed to clients who wanted a building that was not only stunning and elegant looking but also had the ability to adapt to a different use, once the development is finished.
The Pavilion is quite a precise piece of architecture with two distinctly different shapes: A rectangular box comprising all services and circulation areas and a sail shaped glassbox, primarily acting as a large open space, which can be transformed to whatever function may be required in the future.
The box is clad with a sectionised cedar cladding which is constructed with a random sequence of 6 different timber profiles, varying in depth and width. This creates a rather interesting and ever changing façade that interacts quite well with the open structure of the ‘glass pavilion’.
To tie the two parts together, the pavilion has been fitted with vertical cedar wings as well as moveable louvers.
