Interior designers Jordan Cluroe and Russell Whitehead, founders of 2LG Studio, have built a white-stained timber pavilion with a circular cutout window in their back garden.
Designed during the coronavirus lockdown, the pavilion was the final element of Cluroe and Whitehead's five-year renovation of their own home in Forest Hill, southeast London.

"It was time the garden had our attention and we wanted to create something that could be a focal point, but also unite the inside of our home with the outside," explained Whitehead from 2LG Studio.
"Our home has been our passion project over the past few years ? it's been the catalyst for so many of our product design collaborations over the years, so it felt natural to extend that out into our garden. It has given the garden an incredible sense of space and it draws you outside," he told Dezeen. The pavilion has an enclosed dining area
The simple pavilion was built across the rear end of Cluroe and Whitehead's garden on a timber platform reached by two steps.
A seating area with two sofas occupies one side of the deck, while a dining area enclosed by a structure made from slats of British-grown larch is on the other.

Cluroe and Whitehead washed the slats with an eco-friendly stain to give the timber a white shade that allowed the woodgrain and pink tones of the larch to remain visible.
