FOREST PAVILION
The project was born as an extension of the Forest
House in a second stage. The pavilion is a recreational open-plan area with a
bar and a fireplace, which also houses a small kitchen and a bathroom, which
can be hidden behind a wall of wooden folding panels when not in use. From the
outside, the pavilion looks like a small glass box of 9 x 5 meters, which sits
on the top of a 10 meters high rock and disappears beneath a roof garden,
buried under the natural slope of the land as if it was a cave. The pavilion
blends seamlessly with the site, establishing a direct relationship with the timber
"box" of the existing house.
While the Forest House was born as a top-down path,
the pavilion rises from the beginning as the opportunity to generate a route
from bottom to top. It is a single object intervention that generates the
necessity of weaving the natural slope through a series of ramps that run along
the site from the lowest point where visitors parking-spaces are located, pass
through the pavilion, reach the timber box of the existing house, up to the
terraces of the rooms, complementing and thus closing the path started with the
construction of the Forest House and ensuring accessibility to every area of
the house.
