South African studio Metropolis has completed the Garden Pavilion in the grounds of a house in Cape Town, featuring sheltered seating and dining areas with views of nearby Table Mountain.
The Midden Garden Pavilion was designed by Cape Town-based Metropolis as part of the renovation of the villa and its grounds in the affluent suburb of Constantia.
The owners wanted to introduce a pavilion to their large terraced garden to allow them to entertain guests while also enjoying views of the nearby mountains and coastline.
Situated at the southern end of the grounds, on a site overlooked by the main house, the pavilion is made up of a series of thick concrete slabs. These combine to create a shelter that extends out from the hillside. The roof canopy rests on walls at the rear and is supported by a slender pillar at the front, creating an expansive open area beneath.
“The abstract form is neither purely aesthetic nor purely rational,” claimed Metropolis.
