Multi
An exterior precedent for low-profile residential pavilions that use faceted, full-height glazing to capture and reflect surrounding nature.
- What we like about this project
- The glass corner seamlessly wraps without an opaque structural column, maximizing the mirrored tree reflection.

- Geometry
- Low horizontal mass featuring a faceted corner glazed wall that wraps the view, set against a sloping green garden.
- Facade system
- Curtain wall structural glass framing with minimal dark metal capping.
- Structural guess
- Light steel or timber post-and-beam frame supporting a flat roof.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential scale, human height relative to lawn and base timber cladding.
- Lighting
- Bright direct daylight under clear blue sky, casting deep tree shadows across the lawn and creating strong reflections on the glass facade.
- Atmosphere
- Serene and reflective, blending built form completely into the surrounding landscape greenery.
- Environmental context
- Suburban or rural garden site bordered by mature deciduous and evergreen trees.
- Spatial experience
- The continuous floor-to-ceiling glass dissolves the boundary between interior living spaces and the surrounding dense tree canopy.
- Composition rhythm
- Wide horizontal window bays anchored by thin mullions reflecting the vertical tree trunks.
