The structure is a semi open pavilion sitting on a square base, designed as the family section of a popular restaurant. The square space is split into a central open- to- sky courtyard adorned with a water body, and four identical quadrants connected at diagonal junctures.
The structure is a semi-open pavilion sitting on a square base, designed as the family section of a popular restaurant. The square space is split into a central open-to-sky courtyard adorned with a water body, and four identical quadrants connected at diagonal junctures.
Each quadrant is composed of 11 arches spanning between the two diagonal arches, each one absolutely unique. The largest and the outermost arch, a 4-bamboo rafter, spans across 44′ and is 23′ in height. These arches are tilted outwards, to create a 6.5′ overhang. The overhang provides significant protection from sun and rain. The innermost arch spans 10′ and is 12′ in height. The intermediate arches rest on the diagonal arches and are made as twin bamboo rafters.

This structure is entirely handcrafted, made of locally sourced bamboo and treated on site. It is the result of a unique partnership between modern design tools and traditional artistry.
