Circular Pavilion / Studio ACTE

This cabin is an experimental and craft made project. Built as a temporary object, the design aims to be unbuild and recycle again. Therefore each material was already re-used, harvest in the local area and is attached in a dry and harmless way. The cabin arises in the heart of a wild garden in Rotterdam, each element and detail are visible from inside and outside, offering a permanent dialogue with the garden. The door is lifted from the ground and attached to the transparent cube.The rammed earth base is a wall and a floor, mixing functions, emphasising its archetypal form. The aluminum roof floats and reveals the timber structure and the transparency of the facade. The architecture dialogues between mass, transparency, time and durability.
