OPEN PAVILLION
This pavilion is designed as a pause within the grandeur of Chowmahalla Palace. Amid the palace’s intricate details and visual richness, it offers visitors a calm retreat — a space that gives the eyes and mind a moment of rest. Guided by the elements of design, the pavilion balances form, rhythm, and symmetry to create a serene and visually soothing experience.

THE CREATIVE PROCESS
DESIGN CONCEPT
DESIGN CONCEPT
Concept: Inspired by the coffered ceilings of the Chowmahalla Palace, the pavilion is designed using principles of parallel alignment, symmetry, and repetition to create a structured and balanced form. The rhythmic grid layout enhances spatial harmony while establishing a strong visual identity.

FLOOR PLANS AND SECTIONS




The pavilion is organized on a square grid derived from the geometry of coffered ceilings, expressed clearly in plan through parallel and intersecting elements. The front and side elevations translate this order into a rhythmic sequence of arches, creating visual continuity, symmetry, and a strong structural identity.

RENDERS



The open layout eliminates a fixed point of entry and exit, encouraging fluid movement from all directions. Its unrestricted design supports multiple activities, allowing the space to adapt naturally to different uses and user interactions.

The roof incorporates tinted glass panels that invite natural light into the space, creating a dynamic interplay of shadows and color. As the day progresses, shifting light patterns transform the pavilion’s atmosphere, making the experience constantly evolving.
