Looking at proximate and intimate spaces, and by using timber as a single material, we designed an experiential space on Juhu beach.
The pavilion sits on the southern edge of Juhu beach with it's longer edge facing north.
We started with looking at Sou fujimoto's project called Final wooden house as our reference along with observing at various experiential projects.
The pavilion is a space crafted with timber where the non uniform timber blocks come together to form an intimate space.
The levels and the partition in the structure allows the space to have multiple experiences.
The proximity of the arrangement of the timber members provides a possibility for one to feel intimate.
The place that one thought as a floor becomes a seating, which eventually builds up to become a celling and wall forming a play of closed and open spaces.
Two timber members are joined together by using a interlocking technique. For load transfer, timber joinery relies upon the interlocking of adjoining wood members.
