Pavilion 1 concept

Pavilion 1

In this pavilion I wanted to create an illusion like structure that embraces not only geometric shapes but also gradient colour in contrast with a bright vivid lime colour. The structure invites people to  pass trough it to experience the different shadows being created by its irregular shape. The structure is made up of six individual shapes that together form a dynamic looking pavilion ,using different gradients of grey colour to invite the people to pass trough it and explore different variation of how one could sit or lean against the wall structures. In my opinion the colours and shapes used create a fresh and modern piece that is exciting.

Modern Exotic Garden Pavilion Design by Paul Raff.

·         Here is Modern Exotic Small Garden Pavilion Design by Paul Raff.

·         The whole pavilion largely is made out of cedar wood and using large dowels and bolts to connect the pieces together.

·         The contemporary modern pavilion made by  Paul Raff occupies 12 meters square.

·         This pavilion is set in a private garden and the design was inspired by harmony with nature.

·         The pavilion is used for sitting and dining, and it could also be transformed to be used for concerts, and other social activities.

·         The layering of the wood is done in a way to create a complex relationship between inside and outside, producing subtle and shifting glimpses of light and ambience.

·         The woven elements create a constant interplay of light and shadow, connecting the sky to the earth.

·         To embrace its connection with the sky, a mirror is embedded in the surface of the dining table with creates reflections and an illusion like effect.

·         Similar to the traditional Japanese tea house, the pavilion is designed for both social engagement and private meditation.  

·         The natural building material used seems to fit perfectly with the nature around it.

·          Inside you will find two bunks seating and a table which is also made out of cedar wood.

·         The pavilion is protected with a reflective glass top which makes it more practical to clean as well as protects the wood from natural elements.

·         The cost of this pavilion is about 9000 US Dollars which is about 7000 euros and this covered both the material and the fabrication cost as stated by Paul Raff in an email sent to him regarding this issue.

·         Inside you will experience this light and shade where the pavilion allows you to catch the sun but in a calm and serene way.

·         In my opinion this garden Pavilion is very unique, cool, lush and natural hence it integrates with its surroundings without making a bold statement it just blends in nicely. 

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.

The Longest bench by ARCHITECTS STUDIO WEAVE

“Built out of recycled steel and reclaimed hardwoods, the seaside bench is reminiscent of a beach boardwalk, but the twists, loops and dips make it playful and fun”. AR Architectural Review volume 1366 pg71

·        

·         The bench was designed by Studio Weave in collaboration with the local Council.

·         This Pavilion was inspired by wooden boardwalks as well as a charm bracelet. Here is one of the shelters, which acts as a "charm" on the long and twisty coast "chain”. The bench meets with two Pavilions made from bronze-coated steel that provide shade as well as an exciting entrance to the Pavilion. This structure meanders and loops like a chain and occasionally encounters colours that gives a sense of playfulness in my opinion.

·         The pavilion spins into a series of loops inside, bouncing off the interior walls embracing playful living.

·         It weaves along the coast, connecting the whole beach together in one long visual presence as it bends, swerves, dips, arches and curves along the beach and I believe that this blended well.

·         Reclaimed tropical hardwood was salvaged from landfills all over England and old seaside huts to create the hundreds of slats used for the bench top.
