1 Marylebone High Street
A conceptual pavilion precedent demonstrating a low-slung, crescent louver system integrated with sculptural natural elements for park settings.
- What we like about this project
- The central tree appears ghostly and translucent, contrasting sharply with the warm, textured timber ribs of the pavilion shell.

- Geometry
- A sweeping, crescent-shaped louvered timber array wraps around a central translucent tree sculpture, creating an organic enclosure.
- Facade system
- Custom louvered timber screen wall with integrated color elements.
- Structural guess
- Lightweight timber rib framing supporting a curved louver screen.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled pavilion structure sitting low to the ground beneath tall trees.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight filtering through trees, creating sharp highlights on the translucent sculpture and warm glows across the colored louvers.
- Atmosphere
- Playful and luminous, blending vibrant architectural color with ethereal, translucent natural forms.
- Environmental context
- Outdoor park setting surrounded by mature evergreen trees and grass.
- Spatial experience
- The composition creates an intimate framed pocket within the open park, drawing the eye toward the glowing central sculpture.
- Composition rhythm
- A dense repetition of vertical fins fading from green to yellow, punctuated by bursts of warm red floral-like elements.
