Pair of Pavilions for Outdoor Cooking, Dining, Meditation + Exercise

Initially falling in love with a contemporary house constructed on a flat lot in Atherton, California, the householders spent years renovating their property to incorporate a small storage growth and second flooring addition. The one factor left to sort out was their out of doors area. The non-public yard, stuffed with redwoods and different mature timber, marked the best area to remodel into their dream out of doors oasis. Surrounded by the luxurious panorama, the Atherton Pavilions, designed by Feldman Structure, add extra sq. footage – 450-square-feet every, to be actual – for an outside kitchen and eating space, in addition to a spot for meditation and train.

The pavilions are strategically positioned across the authentic timber serving to to mix the brand new buildings with nature. The kitchen pavilion and patio area are located by the swimming pool making for the proper yard BBQ setup.

Each pavilions are clad on the ends with Alaskan yellow cedar slats, for privateness on the train/meditation one and for including a sense of openness on the kitchen construction. Over time, the wooden with naturally climate making it additional mix into its environment.

A pathway passes a brand new water characteristic on the best way to the second pavilion, which homes the meditation, yoga, and train studio.

Each pavilions are lifted off of concrete foundations making the buildings seem as if they’re floating over the panorama.
