Rocky Garden-Nestled Serene Pavilions

Clean the Sky - Positive Eco Trends & Breakthroughs

Temp Designs the 3-to-1 Pavilion in a Rocky Garden

— August 28, 2024 — Art & Design
Chinese design studio Temp has created the 3-to-1 Pavilion, which is a triangular structure nestled in a rocky garden location in Shanghai. It is crafted using charred wood and is meant to be a space to unwind and drink tea or gather with peers. It is designed with a geometric form with a triangular plana and louvered walls that are constructed by wooden frames connected by flush tenon joints set at certain angles.

Temp speaks about the new structure, sharing “The 3-to-1 Pavilion design is the integration of time, space, and people, with a focus on ‘in-between’ or interstitial spaces. The pavilion serves as a serene sanctuary for tea drinking, contemplation, and social gatherings in a Shanghai garden setting. The shape directs visitors on a journey from casual gatherings to contemplation, culminating in a narrow, tall opening that frames a view of the garden, creating a strong visual connection with nature."
