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.
