The project for the pavilion started from the premise of providing open space and, at the same time, protected from the strong sun and rain that affect the region. Located on a pre-existing plateau, the building was designed regarding its relationship with the existing house and with the valley on which it lies, activating the intermediate space between the two buildings while offering a new view of the lush local geography. The spaces are organized by four structural modules of identical measures: 3x4.5m, each with 13.5m² of area.

The first module, closer to the preexisting construction, was designed to focus on qualities that bring it closer to an external garden, on the same level of the exterior ground and covered with wooden pieces implanted directly on the ground. In this module, two hammacs are installed. The second module received a floor treatment with cast wood structure and a large table for group meals, while the third module contains the kitchen equipment set on a slab in prefabricated concrete. In the fourth and last module were allocated the enclosed walls of made of masonry: sauna, bathroom, and storage.
