Tent London & The Art Fund Prize sponored a competition to design a semi-permenant summer pavilion for the Lightbox Museum. Amongst all of the criteria, the gyst is that it needed to be a flex space to house a number of various art pieces (standing, hanging, etc.), allow for presentations, and be a place for informal gathering. In addition, the project needed to be erected in 72 hours (on-site build time).

Matryoshka, much like the Russian Doll of its namesake, is based around a proposition that a system of volumes be nested within one another in an ultra-efficient cube, and their ultimate extension results in new program-specific space.
