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
wide lofty space, previously an industrial production plant, was the ideal
setting for a the new headquarters of a bio-lab research firm. The design
converted a dark, scarcely lit environment, into a luminous and open working
space.Transparency and light - which enters every space coming both from the
front window strip and from the skylights - are the key elements of this
low-cost yet effective design. Through natural light the inside becomes totally
connected to daily and seasonal cycles rather than to the chaotic and
relatively dull post-industrial environment of its immediate surroundings. A
connection, which is strengthened by a planter as long as 8 meters, full of
medium size plants, along the main window. This project, is a good example of
how former industrial spaces could be converted into a working environment
which is responsive to today’s needs and qualitative requirements.
