The Pavilion

The design of the new pavilion is based on an open structure made of masonry columns, which twist at different angles towards the outside space, so that the respective direction opens into another part of the garden. This defines the entrance zone, an orchard or the garden that can be part of the events. The depth of the masonry columns forms an intermediate zone between inside and outside and serves as a buffer. This means that there is no need for any openings such as doors or windows.

The roof structure consists of timber trusses standardised in Zimbabwe. The special thing about it is that the individual beams follow the angles of the masonry columns and are horizontally mirrored. The result is a newly staged interior for concerts and events using conventional construction methods. The flat roof can thus accommodate a roof terrace.
