Exterior Wood Slat System
This slat system is implemented to abstract the Nest aesthetic . Small gaps within the system allow light to penetrate the interior space . The slats are aligned with equal spacing to give balance and order to a typically hectic overlapping layering method .
Central Fabric Membrane
A tensile fabric membrane is placed over top the glulam structural skeleton and in between the inner and outer slat systems . This discrete method is implemented to allow the habitable space to be occupied during various weather conditions , without disturbing daylighting and material qualities .
Glulam Structural System
Glulam beams provide a durable and strong structural skeleton for the formal qualities expressed within the design . The beams themselves posses wonderful aesthetics and serve a complimentary simplicity that mirrors a natural nest .
Interior Wood Slat System
The interior slat system plays an important role in creating a fluid transition between the exterior visual anticipation and the interior experience . Interior gaps provide places for daylight penetration and artificial lighting .
Spatial Organization
The spatial lay-out is open and flexible for various uses . A hidden storage element provides a utilitarian application without disrupting the interior and exterior experience .
Concrete Slab Flooring
The slab creates a stage-like setting for the pavilion and its inhabitants . The slab also establishes a heightened sense of sound during the transition between a hard and soft surface .
Concrete Sleeve Footing
The footing requires a wide footprint to allow for the glulam weight and strain during use .
