A pavilion precedent featuring monumental arched cutouts in stone cladding over a reflecting pool, useful for studies in threshold design and curved transparency.
- What we like about this project
- The large arched cutouts create an optical illusion of a giant circular void when mirrored in the water basin.

- Geometry
- A symmetrical rectangular pavilion features a large intersecting arched opening carved through the front stone mass, revealing an interior curved glass and metal structure set above a still reflecting pool.
- Facade system
- Stone tile rainscreen on the outer box with a curved structural glass curtain wall behind the arches.
- Structural guess
- Steel frame with stone rainscreen cladding and a glazed central enclosure.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion volume with monumental arches, sitting directly at the edge of a large reflecting pool.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight illuminates the stone facade while warm amber interior lighting glows from within, creating strong reflections in the water below.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and reflective, blending heavy stone mass with warm, inviting internal illumination.
- Environmental context
- Urban park setting surrounded by a reflecting water basin and a dense backdrop of high-rise residential towers.
- Spatial experience
- The approach across water leads through a monumental archway into a warmly lit, cave-like curved interior space that contrasts with the heavy exterior stone block.
- Composition rhythm
- Bilateral symmetry dominated by a sweeping central arch echoed by its reflection in the water.
