Audio Pavilion / Lorenz Bachmann + Atelier Void
Text description provided by the architects. A pianist requested us to picture a house fully focused to songs, in which she can follow and educate: a peaceful and magical place as an integral aspect of her wonderful yard in the Swiss city of Winterthur. The one-tale tunes pavilion stands on a straightforward concrete base. Equally, the partitions and the pitched roof, are made with 12cm thick cross-laminated timber panels – pretty much like a cardboard product. The steep gable roof rests on both of those finishes of the partitions and floats alongside the eaves in get to absolutely open the room in the direction of the garden.
The overall creating is included with a constant dress of thick cement fiber boards, which shimmer in 21 distinct shades of blue. The shingled facade was created in collaboration with the architectural office SVNM and set up with the aid of a lot of of our buddies.
A company space layer, with an entrance, a toilet, and storage room, is concealed in the thickness of the gabled facade to the courtyard. This will allow the new music pavilion to be used independently of the residential making. In this intermediate layer, the supplies of the shell are exposed: the concrete foundation and the contemporary pinewood of the cross-laminated timber panels turn out to be visible.
From the entrance, a tiny phase prospects to the audio area, which in by itself is intended with basic suggests, and completely opens up in direction of the back garden on the two longitudinal sides. The white wooden and textile surfaces replicate the environmentally friendly and blue light-weight of the surroundings. The higher gable roof offers plenty of volume for the audio to unfold and even now presents the musicians a sensation of shelter as it reaches down along the eaves pretty much to eye stage.
The tunes pavilion owes its outstanding acoustics to the walls and ceilings created of sound-permeable fabric which handles an acoustic layer with absorbing and reflecting factors.
Developing a space for songs is just one of the most beautiful jobs since seem is an ally to us architects: It requires a lot of air to develop and is sensitive to the surfaces of a space. In get to share this knowledge with other folks, the pianist commenced a little live performance sequence named “Pavillon Bleu”.
