An experimental architectural pavilion combining stacked earth-filled textile bags with an exposed timber structural frame and operable fabric sunshades, offering a compelling study in low-carbon tectonic assemblies.
- What we like about this project
- The use of hanging white fabric curtains and rolled bolster-like cushions integrated into the exterior wall assembly.

- hybrid-structure
- natural-materials
- Geometry
- Rectangular single-story pavilion with an articulated timber post-and-beam exoskeleton and an extended flat roof overhang sheltering fabric awnings.
- Facade system
- Stacked textile bag walls combined with vertical timber columns and operable hanging fabric awnings.
- Structural guess
- Timber post-and-beam frame supporting a lightweight timber roof canopy, with load-bearing stacked earth bags forming the primary perimeter walls.
- Spatial scale
- Small single-story pavilion scale, roughly one to two stories high, designed for intimate human occupation.
- Lighting
- Golden hour sunlight strikes the side facade and timber elements, creating long shadows and highlighting the textured stacked-bag walls.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, earthy, and grounded, contrasting organic textures with the surrounding corporate city backdrop.
- Environmental context
- Outdoor urban plaza or landscape setting with tall ornamental grasses in the foreground and a large glass-and-steel commercial tower in the background.
- Spatial experience
- The pavilion sits low amidst tall grass and urban towers, presenting a tactile, human-scale threshold framed by textile curtains and rammed-earth textures.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical timber posts rhythmically anchor the stacked horizontal earth-bag walls, topped by horizontal layered roof planes.
