Matteo Thun & Partners

Operating from Milan and Munich, Matteo Thun & Partners creates lakefront resorts and hospitality lounges characterized by terrain-integrated green roofs, direct waterfront thresholds, and vibrant interior interventions set against restrained architectural shells. This work serves as a precise reference when detailing the seamless transition between landform contours and activated fifth facades, or when specifying bold color-blocked furnishings with flush technical integration for high-end reception spaces.

A rustic timber pavilion utilizing heavy log-stacking construction, integrated directly into a densely wooded landscape setting.

What we like about this project
Uneven log lengths project past the corners in an untrimmed, rustic manner.

Geometry
A low-slung, orthogonal log cabin structure with heavy timber corner notches, set within a naturalistic landscape.
Facade system
Stacked log wall with overlapping corner notches.
Structural guess
Load-bearing stacked log construction
Spatial scale
Single-story pavilion scale, intimate and compact within the large natural landscape.
Lighting
Diffused daylight filtered through overhead tree canopy, creating soft highlights and dark shadows across the rough timber surfaces.
Atmosphere
Quiet, grounded, and deeply connected to the natural forest environment.
Environmental context
Wooded parkland setting with mature trees and a ground cover of wild grasses and flowers.
Spatial experience
Approached from a meadow of wildflowers, the heavy log walls present a solid, enclosed volume framed by surrounding trees.
Composition rhythm
Horizontal stacked log courses creating a steady, repetitive banding effect up the facade.
