Best of design Awards 2019 – Small Wooden Pavilion

Small Spaces

This project entailed a surgical demolition of an existing shed and the erection of a small ancillary building. The old structure housed the electrical and communications utilities of a large compound, and the new project had to preserve the previous functions. The program required two different types of users; MQ Architecture decided to split the building in two, allowing for a separate circulation for each group. The upper piece houses the electrical room and the team quarters, while the lower portion holds two individual restrooms. The project sits in the middle of the forest, so the architects selected charred wood to help the building blend with the surrounding nature. The polycarbonate facade brings natural light and privacy to the interior.
