Heavy Timber Post-and-Beam Frames with Stepped Seating Platforms

A double-height public atrium features an exposed heavy timber post-and-beam system contrasted by stepped stone-clad seating platforms. Full-height curtain wall glazing floods the multi-level lounge with natural daylight, while warm uplighting embedded in timber ceiling troughs provides soft ambient illumination.

Low-profile lakeside pavilion with a pitched metal roof reflecting in calm water at sunset by 九米设计 in Hangzhou.

杭州

A lakeside pavilion precedent demonstrating how a low-slung, pitched-roof volume integrates horizontally into a natural wetland or park setting.

What we like about this project
The broad, overhanging roofline nearly dissolves against the dark treeline, emphasizing the roof plane and its reflection.

Geometry
Low horizontal pavilion massing featuring a large, gently pitched standing-seam roof that anchors the building low to the site and water edge.
Facade system
Dark, recessed perimeter wall system beneath an oversized standing-seam metal roof overhang.
Structural guess
Timber or steel post-and-beam structure supporting a lightweight pitched roof.
Spatial scale
Human-scaled single-story pavilion sitting low across the waterfront.
Lighting
Warm, golden-hour twilight producing a soft, amber reflection on the water surface and silhouetting the surrounding trees.
Atmosphere
Calm, contemplative twilight atmosphere grounded by the quiet reflection on the water.
Environmental context
Rural or parkland setting beside a calm lake with mature tree lines and native waterfront vegetation.
Spatial experience
The building sits quietly at the edge of the lake, establishing a strong horizontal datum integrated into the surrounding landscape.
Composition rhythm
Strong horizontal stratification created by the water surface, the low shoreline, and the broad roof pitch.
