Architecture Design of Cranberry Pavilion

Description About The Project

Cranberry Pavilion house designed by Wright Architects, is a chapter in a legacy of architectural endeavors. The addition of the Pavilion onto the client existing property with the main house that recently completed by Greg Wright Architects, is in itself a striking building. Indeed, the idea of a pavilion typology informed this boutique project where the structure kept to the minimum. Also, materiality celebrated and spatial boundaries blurred, characterizing this recent addition to the Cranberry family of buildings.

On the other hand, the topography of the area taken into account with focused and considered views ranging from the West facing façade which opens up to the Atlantic Ocean, to the first floor terrace that gazes upon the iconic Lions Head and the framed views through the clerestory windows of the 12 Apostle mountain range.

Striking in its dark color and angled composition the pavilion – like structure situated above the original main house. The morphology of the cottage characterized by two, thin floating planes stacked on top of each other, jutting out into the surrounding lush garden. Besides, the illusion of these floating planes accentuated by levitating them from the perimeter stone walls by means of discreet steel columns, achieving the light and open structure characteristics of a pavilion structure. In addition to this, in keeping with the idea of a Pavilion, the threshold between interior and exterior gets blurred by means of large sliding aluminum doors that. When opened up, provide the sense of expanse into the external landscaped areas.
