Hamilo Pavilion

How can a building enhance a public landscape?

Hamilo Pavilion combines a number of pre-existing structural features with a contemporary façade, creating a subtle space that seems embedded in its lush surroundings. Designed with principles of metabolic architecture, the building hosts a range of social events, with multiple points of access demonstrating the structure’s versatility and organic position within the landscape. A glass enclosure frames panoramic views of Pico de Loro Bay. The double-height roof, shaped using parametricdesign techniques, folds over an expansive wooden terrace with a black metal mesh surface, establishing a place to rest, socialize, or enjoy a moment of solitude.
