Composed of a brick wall evocative of existing local residential construction and an atypical sloping skylight cover to protect against inclement weather, this pavilion is a study in contrasts. Some windows and doors are designed without frames to explore the ambiguity between the concept of closed space (private house) and concept of open space (public area) and in the process create public areas for meetings, games and parties.
