Cube pavilion made from recycled PVC pipes



I personally love Architects and designers who are willing to re-interpret normal everyday material into something unusual and fun. Case in point this small pavilion requires just 4 things to make a spectacular effect: PVC pipes, glue, a saw, and a creative mind.

·         This pavilion is made entirely of short lengths PVC pipes offcuts, the PVC tubes are used as a building material for the structure of this pavilion
·         Sizes were selected to balance function, strength and aesthetic and stacked into a uniquely functional whole.
·         The architects focused on potentials of existing construction products in which there are possibilities for improper use of the material.
·         The material is no longer seen as a tube but as a hollow building stone.
·         Hoogte Twee Architecten created a unique space that can be used and even explored by the little ones.
·         This Pavilion makes for a sweet place to kick back, relax and eat with your family or friends.
·         An interesting effect is created from the various plays of light and shape from the tubes.
·      The effect of translucency on the ends and solidity on the sides is striking, as the cube’s weightiness is transformed into a structure.
·         The cost of this pavilion was all summed up to an astonishing 750 euros and this price was so low because approximately 75% of all the pipes were offcuts of large projects in the local area.
·         The functionality of Pavilion keeps it from being just an exercise in aesthetic expression.

  • The Pavilion uses recycled material to make a high functioning and durable place for relaxation that blends in both in the environment and in modern urban areas.
