A public park pavilion featuring exposed glulam timber structure and full-height glazing, offering an intimate reading space embedded in nature amid urban towers.
- What we like about this project
- The dramatic scale contrast between the low wooden pavilion and the soaring towers immediately behind it.

- Geometry
- Low-slung rectangular pavilion with a pronounced overhanging gabled timber roof and glazed walls, juxtaposed against vertical high-rise towers.
- Facade system
- Full-height structurally glazed curtain wall system framed by exposed timber posts.
- Structural guess
- Exposed glulam post-and-beam frame supporting a folded timber roof structure.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story pavilion at human scale, creating an intimate contrast against the monumental scale of the surrounding towers.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight with warm interior lighting glowing outward beneath the roof overhang.
- Atmosphere
- Warm, inviting, and tranquil, providing a calm human-scale refuge within a dense metropolis.
- Environmental context
- Urban park landscape featuring mature trees and a walking path, sharply contrasted by a dense backdrop of modern skyscrapers.
- Spatial experience
- The open glazed perimeter creates a porous boundary between the park landscape and the interior study space, sheltered by the deep sheltering eaves.
- Composition rhythm
- Repeating exposed glulam rafter tails establish a strong radial rhythm under the deep eaves.
- Style reading
