| The New Summerhouse |
london - first prize |
|
| a beautiful award winning garden structure that is clad in thin skins. These surfaces re-enforce the presence of the garden and frame the seasons. An 8m long mirror reflects the diverse floral range and defies the solidity and proximity of the wall it is mounted on.
The summerhouse sits in the rear of an elongated victorian garden and the design attempts to screen out this urban setting. Baroque ideas of illusion, distortion, camouflage and the capture of nature create a contemporary, rigorous and surprising building. |
