Designed as a viewing point along a lake front, meditation pavilion is an open air structure for communal gathering in nature. The viewscape faces west toward the setting sun. With slatted louvers for star gazing at night and optional shade during the day, the operable pergola wraps like one continuous textured fabric skin from front to back.
