Butterfly Aviary – U.A.E.
Photographs: Joaquín Busch/Christian Bauer
5,5m high. The all-over glazing merges floor and ceiling, a glance to the above reveals
organically shaped skylights and the golden shading roof on top.
The Butterfly Aviary illustrates 3deluxe’s design principle “Multilayered Atmospheres“:
Inside, an undulating landscape made of thermoformed mineral material Krion merges
horizontal and vertical. The three-dimensional puzzle was manufactured in a technically
sophisticated process and assembled on site. Plant tubs are integrated in its shape,
visitors enter an all-over of walls, floor and ceiling. Wooden paths lead through an
artificial landscape that eliminates all boundaries of traditional spaces. The mineral
material is printed with patterns and ornaments repeated from the golden shading
roof, and backlit in some places. A three-dimensional graphic was created by means of a
special sublimation print.
