This outhouse pavilion, designed for a family of doctors, epitomizes the "less is more" philosophy through its minimalist design. It is intended to provide a serene, harmonious space that enhances the family's connection to nature and complements the existing house. The structure, crafted from various finishes of exposed concrete, seamlessly integrates with the aesthetic of the existing house. The design emphasizes horizontal lines, evoking a calming and expansive feel. By minimizing columns and incorporating larger spans, the pavilion enhances its open, airy atmosphere, creating seamless and inviting spaces.
The interior is thoughtfully designed with warm lighting and modular furniture, providing the flexibility to host various gatherings, from intimate family hangouts to vibrant social events such as musical nights or movie screenings. The sliding window facades facilitate a seamless connection between the interior and exterior spaces, enhancing the pavilion's relationship with the lush garden, dining pavilion, and welcoming verandah. This architectural marvel balances functionality with timeless elegance, offering a tranquil escape and an ideal backdrop for the family's cherished moments.
The arrival verandah establishes a welcoming entrance to the pavilion, seamlessly connecting the indoor space to the verdant garden. Serving as a transitional space, it invites guests to relax and immerse themselves in the serene surroundings. The expansive, beautifully landscaped garden entices the inhabitants to relish the outdoors. Overlooking both the garden and the main pavilion is a semi-open dining pavilion, which is connected to nature on two sides, providing a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor experiences.
