A striking pavilion precedent showcasing an undulating, layered timber shingle canopy designed for complex solar shading and organic architectural expression.
- What we like about this project
- The roof shingles flare outward and upward like folded scales, completely dissolving the traditional roof-wall boundary.

- Geometry
- Dynamic, undulating roof forms sweep upward, layered with offset wooden louvers and shingle systems above a transparent glazed base.
- Facade system
- Custom timber louver and shingle rainscreen canopy over a glazed structural envelope.
- Structural guess
- Steel space frame or glulam timber arches supporting an external wooden louver matrix.
- Spatial scale
- Large public scale, with multi-story height rooflines and elevated pedestrian bridges.
- Lighting
- Bright daylight filtering through complex wooden louvers, casting high-contrast shadows across walkways and structure.
- Atmosphere
- Textured, tactile, and airy, balanced by the warmth of natural wood under bright daylight.
- Environmental context
- Exhibition or pavilion setting with planted landscaping in the foreground and open sky above.
- Spatial experience
- The layered canopy creates deep, dappled outdoor transition zones before stepping down to reveal a glazed pavilion entry behind elevated walkways.
- Composition rhythm
- Rhythmic repetition of angled wood shingles stacked in ascending cascading waves.
