Story

Industrial precision meets residential grace in a garden setting Nestled within the garden of a family home in Olot, this pavilion by Jordi Hidalgo Tané is a testament to the harmonious blend of industrial techniques and residential refinement. Positioned adjacent to a large industrial park, the pavilion's design is dictated by stringent regulations and a geobiological study, ensuring its seamless integration into the landscape dominated by a centuries-old cedar tree. The structure employs an industrialized construction system of prefabricated concrete, akin to the nearby industrial buildings, yet scaled to suit residential use. The pavilion's design explores the full potential of prefabricated systems, with a focus on corner junctions, panel assemblies, and concrete surface finishes. This results in an exterior that is both elegant and light, contrasting with an interior that is dense and profound, illuminated by light filtered through the textured concrete. Measuring approximately 12 meters in length and 10 meters in width, the pavilion subtly challenges conventional design norms. With a budget of €150,000, it was designed and manufactured in a workshop over six months, assembled in just five days, and occupied three months later, all under the watchful presence of the cedar.
