Zodiac Pavilion • Whitby Wood
A construction process precedent showing the on-site assembly of prefabricated angular timber panels for the Zodiac Pavilion by Whitby Wood.
- What we like about this project
- The worker operates directly above suspended timber panels from an articulated boom basket.

- pavilion
- Geometry
- An angular pavilion structure under construction with tilted timber panels forming sharp gabled profiles.
- Facade system
- Exposed timber board panels with dark-painted exterior fins.
- Structural guess
- Prefabricated mass timber or panelized wood construction.
- Spatial scale
- Human-scaled worker in lift basket handling large prefabricated timber panels.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight under a clear blue sky, casting sharp shadows on the timber.
- Atmosphere
- Active, bright, and precise execution on site.
- Environmental context
- Outdoor open construction site against clear sky with distant roof tiles visible at the lower right.
- Spatial experience
- A dynamic construction sequence capturing temporary scaffolding scale against open sky.
- Composition rhythm
- Diagonal lines of the crane arm intersect with vertical timber fins and cantilevered panels.
