Garden Pavilion
Set in a private garden, the pavilion design was inspired by Eastern
philosophy of harmony with nature. It is used for sitting and dining,
as well as workshops, concerts, and other activities of a local Artist
Cooperative.The layering of its lattice-like elements create a complex relationship
between inside and outside, producing subtle and shifting glimpses of
the garden beyond. The interwoven elements of the trellis produce a
constant interplay of light and shadow, visually connecting the sky to
the earth. To amplify a connection to the sky, a mirror is embedded
into the surface of the dining table. The pavilion is oriented due
north-south, and the angle of the roof is in perpendicular alignment to
the sun at the summer solstice. This configuration provides for the
maximum degree of shading in the heat of mid-summer and also acts as a
large-scale sundial. Similar to the traditional Japanese tea house, the
pavilion is designed for both social engagement and private
contemplation.
