Choreographing Light and Form
An exploration of residential scale, material honesty, and the fluid transition between interior sanctuary and raw landscape.
The Material Tension
The project investigates the sensory tension between raw concrete and soft linen. By placing structural elements on a precise architectural grid, we dictate not just the layout of walls, but how daily life unfolds.
Every opening is calculated to capture Copenhagen’s shifting seasonal light, transforming cold structural concrete into a warm, living canvas.
The Spatial Sequence
A curated progression through the final pavilion, from structural massing models to finished interior atmospheres.
Technical Execution
Architectural integrity relies on uncompromised scale. Below are the core structural systems, material assemblies, and technical specifications developed for the thesis pavilion.
Material Assembly
Environmental Integration
Structural Detailing
Constructed with low-carbon board-formed concrete, native Danish oak, and local travertine. Every material is left untreated to encourage natural weathering.
Passive solar orientation minimizes heating loads. Deep timber eaves shade the southern glazing during high summer while admitting low winter sun.
Custom steel-to-timber flitch plates enable a completely column-free corner, dissolving the boundary between the interior hearth and the outdoor terrace.
