Timber Pavilion
A rotated frame producing a twisted volume
Amsterdam, Netherlands2023Architecture
01
Introduction
A timber pavilion exploring how a simple repeated frame can produce a complex interior volume.
02
Concept
The frame is rotated incrementally along the length of the pavilion, so the roof surface twists without any curved members.
03
Design Development
The rotation was tested at model scale before the connection detail was resolved.
04
Architecture
Plans, sections and elevations describe the frame and the resulting volume.
05
Material & Structural Strategy
The pavilion is built from a single repeated timber frame. Connections are kept exposed so the logic of the structure remains legible.
06
Final Design
Final renders of the pavilion interior.
