The pavilion contains several layers that together provide shelter and social space for dining. The project is to be thought of as a heavy base melting together with the sky. A heavy floorscape rest on the sand, rising from the ground. Light membranes create protecting clouds hovering above the social space.
The landscape
The basis of the unit is a timber landscape that merges together with the surrounding sand. This landscape becomes a furniture, embracing a fireplace. The angles and leveling of the floor create different zones and comfortable situations to sit down and rest.
The construction
Tripoded wood volumes and slim steel coloumns hold up a membrane ceiling. They are carefully placed according to the activities. The volumes host a kitchen for preparing of food and storage. They work together with the floor to create spaces to sit.
The membrane
The ceiling consists of nine membranes that protect from direct sun light. They filter light and shelter from rain and wind. Each membrane is connected in four points. They are stretched with wires, and have hyperbolic paraboloid surfaces.
