Emphasis was put on minimalism, using concrete in situ as the base material. Creating contrast was key, seen in the curved roof detail, which softens the walls and beams leading to the atrium with glimpses of the Relic Table Lamp and Solace Pendant in singular and clustered hangings. To establish an intuitive sense of flow, the horizontal planes, beams and external uprights were secured in place via a physical cut-out of the façade for the beams to sit. Each element seamlessly locks together through this singular interaction – ultimately unifying the building.

As a space providing scale and form for staging Gardam’s designs, careful consideration was given to curating the furniture and lighting inside – including the journey to discover them. This reflects Gardam’s belief that objects are not meant to exist in isolation, but rather in relation to ourselves and our surroundings. To this end, the interior consists of four rooms with interconnected views to one another, as well as to the internal courtyard and the exterior. This simultaneous view of each adjacent space adds to the intrigue, triggering curiosity for people to explore the entire interior, leading out to the Australian landscape.

Created in tandem with Melbourne-based digital agency Mr.P, Pavilion is intended as inspiration for any space, scenario, interior or exterior envisioned for Gardam’s designs.
