The Margaret Whitlam Pavilion, National Arboretum Canberra - Australia

It's not a complete series without a daytime exterior.

he structure is an innovative and economical arrangement of plywood box beams, clad externally in zinc, each separated by a strip of sun-shaded glass to wash the interior with soft light. Low wings of off-form concrete house service functions. The interior of the Pavilion complements, in feel and detail, the ecological focus of the Arboretum. The naturally-finished timber structure highlights the value of trees as sources of material and as carbon storage. Low-energy services and water recycling complement the sustainable focus of the Arboretum, and ensure the Pavilion’s on-going operational feasibility.
