Wrapped Around Pavilion

Progetto: Carlo Ezechieli


Assistants: Andrei Vassallo

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.

SR house is a double level single-family house, built inside a longitudinal parcel that stretches in North-South direction. The presence of the railway line towards the South and the absence of buildings towards the North makes the site a perfect visual axis towards the Alps: a characteristic that may be helplessly lost, through building. The project is therefore developed following to the aim of reproducing the same axis inside the house, according to a sort of “visual introversion” principle. The resulting design is a building whose angles are metaphorically “subtracted” in order to allow the access of sunlight, directing views and defining buffer spaces between the inside and the outside. The double hight interior emulates the architectural features of the rooms of the ancient palaces of this Alpine region.
