The intention of this tree-viewing pavilion is to disappear into its surroundings like a cloud. The previously developed system of 2”x4” lumbers slotted into each other was adapted to achieve this effect and create a playful space where campers can learn about their environment.
The wall system allows for openings through the control of its density at desired locations, such as significant trees in the area. The members of the system also lent themselves to integrated seating and climbing platforms.
Campers can meander through the pavilion as they would through a forest and choose to engage with the pavilion or simply pass through, much like if a cloud had descended upon the site.
