Cedar Pavilion

Residential Completed 2023 Surrey, UK
Cedar Pavilion, a small timber-clad outbuilding set in a mature garden.
Brief

A garden room for a writer, planned around one existing oak and the path of winter sun through the canopy.

The pavilion sits at the far end of a long garden, oriented so the morning sun reaches the writing desk through a single high slot. Cedar shingles weather to match the existing fence within a season; inside, one wall of bookshelves doubles as the structural spine. The roof folds down to form a rain shield over the entrance, a single gesture that does the work of a porch.
