Tottenham Pavilion Contest
ONE IN A MILLION | PAVILION
The Harringay Warehouse District, as it is now, was created by local people for themselves. A homey place in London, where the very soul of society has been preserved, where neighbors are more of a family, where support and communication have become a way of life. Having never been there, I have still got such a warm impression of this place, and I wanted to preserve this impression in my project.
Inspired by the Osthang Project, I wanted to retain that feeling of purity and transparency of the pavilion, but at the same time add authenticity. My pavilion is much smaller and accommodates fewer people, but it looks and feels more like a home: small and cozy, where you can’t get lost or lonely — someone's hug will always find you.
The space transforms along with needs. Depending on the number of people, the pavilion can be expanded or divided with the folding walls, it has two entrances, it is extremely translucent and at the same time private. An additional small floor adds usable space but does not divide the pavilion, which is still a solid venue for major events. If conducting several workshops is required, then a translucent retractable partition will visually divide the space and provide sound insulation.
