This Pavilion House Crafts a Dual-Purpose Space | UA Lab (Urban Architectural Collaborative)

The project is about creating a third place in architecture. The client required a space where they could hold their formal professional meetings. During the weekends and festive occasions, they can use the same space to socialize and enjoy time with the kids and the family. The project required concealing the dichotomy of formal and informal expression of spaces together creating a pavilion house.

Editor’s Note: “The Pavilion House by UA Lab uses exposed RCC ceilings and natural stone flooring along with wooden and veneer furniture to blend with the tranquil surroundings. Materials chosen for their natural elegance allow a seamless connection between the inside and outside. These choices allow the Pavilion to portray tranquility while meeting the client’s needs.” ~ Anusha Sridhar

Concept

The site is a huge expanse of open land. Conceptually, we decided to create a cuboidal glass box. The cuboidal volume is kept very simple, pure, and generic in its form. This simplicity allowed flexibility of use within the designed volume as required by the client.

The cuboidal box is placed at one edge of the open site. By placing the pavilion at one edge of the site, allowed one to connect to the vast vista of the open green expanse on one side.

The cuboidal box is a rectangular pavilion space. An interesting light edge runs along the longer edge of the pavilion. This light edge is partly covered with pergolas and, in contrast, partly covered with a flat roof. Additionally, the pergola allows the play of light and shadow, giving a dynamic experience to the entire linear space.

This light edge helps to integrate the interior and exterior spaces together. The space under the flat roof allows for relaxed seating outside the pavilion. This minimal intervention allows the user to connect with nature, thereby contributing to the serene and peaceful experience that the site offers.

Pavilion

On the shorter side, the Pavilion opens to the swimming pool area. When the glass slider opens up, the entire pavilion space integrates with the green vista on one side and the swimming pool area on the adjacent side. Additionally, a sunken seating space is designed in front of the pavilion, keeping it circular in its form.

The circular form harmonizes with the pavilion on one side and the larger green expanse on the other side. The client had a special preference for ornamental plantations. Moreover, the ornamental conical Ficus plantation lines the circumferential seating edge.

Moreover, these spatial layers accentuate different experiences, connecting to nature. Additionally, these are designed and created between the Pavilion space and the larger green expanse.

The Pavilion space dissolves into the greens. Thus, allowing the nature to play its main role. The activity of seating celebrates and enjoys. Thereby, allowing one to immerse oneself in the beauty of nature.

A meandering pathway connects the pavilion to the house. Additionally, the pathway twists around the existing trees, creating an in-between space.

The project celebrates the activity of seating, relaxing, and socializing. Different pauses design opportunities to sit, relax, and enjoy the greens outside the house.

Seating Plazas

Multiple smaller and bigger seating plazas line the pathway. Water features and natural stones enhance the serene experience along the walkway. Additionally, a water mural represents the circle of life.

The pathways feature natural stone flooring, while different finishes of natural stone create centric patterns in each seating plaza. However, these patterns define the plaza space along the pathways.

Loosely placed over the lawn area, circular Dhangadhara sandstone of varying sizes creates a striking arrangement. Moreover, it provides an interesting pathway pattern without disturbing the lawns. Additionally, the contrast of the sandstone and the green lawns gives visual pleasure to these pathways.

Materials

Exposed ceiling with natural RCC ceiling. The flooring features natural stone, while the furniture showcases wood and veneer. Additionally, the finishes are selected to give a natural and serene experience to the entire space.
