Curved timber lattice structure tied with rope in an outdoor landscape
An experimental vaulted timber lattice pavilion by Leong Leong demonstrating grid-shell geometry and traditional tied joinery in an outdoor setting.
- What we like about this project
- Structural joints are securely lashed with white cordage rather than mechanical metal fasteners.

- Geometry
- A vaulted arch constructed from intersecting curved timber laths forming a double-layer grid shell.
- Structural guess
- Reciprocal grid shell or elastic timber arch assembly.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled architectural pavilion or prototype canopy.
- Lighting
- Soft, diffused overcast daylight casting gentle shadows across the wooden members.
- Atmosphere
- Earthy and transparent, integrating lightweight structure directly into the natural landscape.
- Environmental context
- Outdoor clearing surrounded by dense tropical or mountainous foliage and forested hillsides.
- Spatial experience
- Open-air pavilion framing the sky through its structural lattice and backed by dense green hills.
- Composition rhythm
- Rhythmic repetition of intersecting curved wooden ribs forming a diamond-like grid pattern.
