Article source: Khachaturian Architects The project is located within the industrial area of Moscow. The client requested a multi-functional recreational area for the warm summer season, where he can bring his family, invite business partners, gather a large company or work alone in silence and meditation.

The primary objective was to limit the visual contact with the factory and open the views to the natural landscape. The whole shape of the arbor supports this concept, as each of its facades is turned to a particular angle to create the intimate atmosphere inside.

The first is the open area, facing the factory and organizing the entrance to the pavilion. The center of this space is a tree that shades from the summer sun. The two other spaces are shielded from the factory. One is the covered volume of the arbor, consisting of more and less open areas to create an opportunity for functional separation of the internal space, and the other is the open terrace looking at the forest.

The western facade is fractured diagonally to create a milder shape and transition to more of a human scale, as the maximum height mark is four meters from the terrace level.

The main building material is natural wood, resistant to Russia’s climate. The facades are made of wooden slats, which are attached to the structure along with polycarbonate.
