Commissioned as a reading room and meditation space on a private estate, the Garden Pavilion is a single room set among meadow grasses and birch trees. The structure is intentionally minimal — a thin steel frame supporting floor-to-ceiling glass on three sides, with a solid concrete wall anchoring the north face.
The roof extends beyond the glass envelope, creating a sheltered perimeter that blurs the line between interior and landscape. In summer, sliding panels open the east and west walls entirely, transforming the pavilion into a covered terrace.
A single built-in concrete bench and a reading ledge are the only fixed furnishings. The floor is polished concrete with radiant heating, allowing year-round use. The project was completed in twelve weeks using prefabricated steel components assembled on site.
