The Turkish architect firm MASK Architects has designed a sustainably-minded pavilion proposed for Waldspielpark Heinrich Kraft Park, the largest forest game park in Frankfurt, Germany, reports inhabitat.The pavilion is created in the shape of an ovate leaf, so as the design would blend into the forest within which it is nestled. Dubbed “Leaf and Bean Co Pavilion,” the building is structured with natural materials, which primarily includes locally sourced timber. The building will house a coffee shop, a semi-open library, recreational areas, and an events space.As per the inhabitat report, the “Leaf and Bean Co Pavilion” will span an area of more than 2,000 square feet across two floors. The pavilion’s ground floor will be semi-open and house exhibition space, while the upper level will include the coffee shop with the service areas placed inside a circular core at the heart of the building. “We carried out a design in which people can provide an unforgettable experience without disturbing the mathematics and physics of nature,” MASK Architects said in a press statement. “This pavilion can be adapted to any kind of forest area. The development offers visitors an escape from the city with the celebration of fresh and organic dining. Guests may enjoy the leisure and programmed resting on the terrace level while connected with the natural forest. By wandering in the forest, visitors not only discover co-creation programs but also meet with the people involved with the project and explore their creative process.”The locally sourced timber, apart from giving structural support, will be used to give the pavilion a sculptural appeal. The architects have proposed crisscrossing long timber blocks around the building exterior for a nest-like appearance. The roof of the pavilion will be planted with trees and greenery visible from the coffee shop below, states the report. https://www.blouinartinfo.com/ Founder: Louise Blouin Read more
