UPPER LAWN PAVILION
“The pavilion’s hybrid construction fits with
the interventions made and the incorporation
of existing elements like the garden wall, the
chim-ney, as well the windows of the former
cottage. The construction of the box on the
wall consists of a wooden f rame clad with
zinc. On all sides its posts function as casing
for fitted windowpanes. The f rame’s wooden
beams are put in the existing outer wall and
supported on the inside by a concrete beam
poured in-situ and anchored in the existing
chimney wall, and, on both ends, by square
columns placed at a 45 degree angle. This
construction results in non-supporting ground
level façades, allow-ing the creation of the
teak sliding doors along the full length of the
gar-den façade.”
