Design

Designed as more than a place to grab a coffee, the pavilion creates a flexible outdoor room within the campus. A restrained structure is softened by timber elements, playful colour and the surrounding mature landscape, creating a relaxed space that encourages students and staff to stop, meet and spend time between classes.
