An outdoor pavilion to gather in nature and forge greater connection with the earth. made of 1/3rd salvaged cedar and also using construction waste to brace each post together and the stair rails. Its oculi frame a changing sky and its gradient of cedar posts allows the materials to meld with the surrounding trees but also encourage new ways of seeing everyday nature from dusk to dawn. Cantilevered pods on steel posts simulate a forest. While the project was commissioned by a matriarch to gather her family outdoors, it can also be used as a work space or for star gazing at night. This wood pavilion allows the materials to speak for themselves and for the inhabitant to marvel.
