The task was to erect a pavillion as an extension to a single family-house in Berlin-Pankow.
The client wished to have not only a larger livinging area but also sufficient space for his collection of asian sculptures.
Within a square ground plan eight concrete pillars bear a projecting flat roof. It serves as a sun protection for the glazed cube.
Because of the lack of walls, the consequent minimilization of materials – exposed concrete, white terrazzo, glass and dark gray aluminium frames - the pavilion becomes a sphere between interior space and garden.
Though the main building and the extension building speak different architectural languages consistent alignings and measures as well as a common symmetry axes lead to a harmonios connection.
