In an ongoing series of collaborations with SWA group we were asked to design a series of five pavilions / tea houses in the context of a new park surrounding a 100 year old pagoda. The pagoda itself is a vertical moment in an overwhelmingly horizontal context and serves as a marker along a water gateway to the district. The pavilions were designed as nodes along a pathway through the park alternately disorienting and reorienting the viewer to the pagoda.
