Project Description
FROM CO-G:
Somewhere between New England cedar shingles and the loose fit of a favorite pair of jeans, the pavilion speaks to the familiarity and nostalgia of our collective favorite things.
80 puffy shingles are stuffed with recycled denim repurposed to building insulation and fabric waste from the garment industry, while a layer of shredded, recycled foam wraps the pavilion in a chromatic speckling. Casually draped over the frame, each puffy shingle invites us to walk, bump, hug, and lounge freely between the pillow-like walls.
