ISLAS SECAS
An open-air pavilion precedent utilizing heavy timber columns and a radial wooden ceiling structure to frame an expansive tropical ocean vista.
- What we like about this project
- The radial geometry of the timber roof structure mirrors the panoramic spread of the ocean view.

- Geometry
- Symmetrical open-air pavilion framing a wide horizontal ocean vista through massive timber columns and a cantilevered hipped roof.
- Structural guess
- Heavy timber post-and-beam construction supporting a radial wood-rafter roof.
- Spatial scale
- Generous open-air lounge pavilion sized for hospitality or luxury residential gathering.
- Lighting
- Bright tropical daylight illuminating the exterior seascape, casting soft directional shadows under the deep timber overhang.
- Atmosphere
- Breezy, serene, and deeply connected to the surrounding marine environment.
- Environmental context
- Coastal cliffside or island resort overlooking open ocean with distant islands and scattered cloudscape.
- Spatial experience
- Grounded sheltered seating transitions directly to an open coastal balcony overlooking the sea and islands.
- Composition rhythm
- Strong vertical timber columns establish outer bays framing the centered horizontal horizon line.
- Style reading
- Tropical regionalism with natural timber construction
