THE PAVILION

SITE CONDITION

Location: Queens Park, Toronto, ON M5S

Category: Cultural building/ Pavilion

Surrounding Condition: The site, positioned adjacent to the Ontario Premier's Office, the landmark of Toronto, attracting numerous pedestrians passing through. The site also located in the main park area offers a relaxing ambiance, attracting many individuals who often occupy the benches, making it a popular spot for gatherings and moments of relaxation.

DESIGN DIRECTION

Statement of intent: The design concept behind the thick wall draws inspiration from its surroundings. While the Ontario Premier's Office upholds a serious atmosphere, the neighboring park offers a serene escape for leisure. In parallel, the "thick wall" presents a modest exterior, aligning with the office's ambiance. Yet, its interior surprises with a captivating design, creating a striking contrast between the solemn exterior and the fascinating elements within.
