Phantom


Phantom is a innovative creation envisioned as a lightweight pavilion structure, it is meticulously crafted with two cross-laminated layers of aluminum, forming a robust structural shell.

This pavilion not only provides shade but also offers comfortable seating, enhancing the vibrant ambiance of Praerie Basin Park. The canopy showcases a spectrum of colors, presenting a formal gradient from left to right and top to bottom. The pavilion’s skin boasts a sophisticated pattern of openings, casting playful shadows on the ground and creating captivating visual effects that evolve with the changing seasons and the passage of each day.
