The pavilion serves as an outhouse extension for a house on the adjacent property. Building-site ensemble is diagonally ordered , along with a large garden and pool. A perforated concrete shell contains an ‘aedicule’ like cubical volume that currently houses health-spa facilities, but can also function as bedrooms

Entrance from the east patio is aligned to the pool; which links with living room of the old house. A large opening to the north integrates the interior with garden, giving the space a distinct outdoor aspect. The double height veranda-like living space wraps around the north and east faces. Large folding-sliding teak wood doors with movable louvers allow a variety of options for controlling light, ventilation, privacy and security.

In a location characterized by frequent cloudy skies, effort was to made to harvest daylight while keeping away unwanted views.The outer skin records the daily passage of the sun within the interior, capturing dramatic daily variations in weather conditions particular to the Bangalore region.
