This project doesn’t want to solve the problem of global warming, nor to declare itself "sustainable", nor to save the planet. The goal is simply to celebrate the joy of children, making them feel an integral part of the environment around them.
While a pavilion is usually identified as a space with trees around it, in this case are trees with a pavilion around them. In the shape of this small space, where the design of the greenery and that of the pavilion are one, concavity prevails over convexity, literally enveloping those who frequent it.
Entering through narrow corridors, instead of a flat floor, you find yourself immersed in a topography that allows children to play and use the space freely according to their desires.
The pavilion is high enough to be hidden in the vegetation. Only the roof is slightly visible, creating an environment inside that appears like an enchanted world.

A consortium of private and public stakeholders in the vicinities of Como, Northern Italy, asked for a set of interventions aimed to control the frequent floods of the Seveso river. The project is a green engineering infrastructure mainly based on the making of three overflow basins, each designed both providing flood prevention as well as meaningful architectural spaces, aimed to enhance the qualities of the site. These three “pivots” are interconnected through a broad and complex network of green pathways, planting and secondary landscape interventions, thusforming a proper, comprehensive green infrastructure.
