Pavilions for landowners, operators and developers.

One module, two sites: a forest and a beach.

In the forest

Among the trees, without clearing the forest or pouring it in concrete: a factory-built module on slender posts that stay outside and carry only its base.

On the beach

On the beach, with no public water or sewer: the same module resting directly on the ground, perpendicular to the sea, anchored after the soil survey, and the public coastal strip stays free.

What is designed

Structure · water · energy · interiors and joinery · operating plan · site follow-up.

Where the module comes from

Study model of the pavilion: a long, low volume with rounded ends.
Thesis collage, long elevation: the pavilion raised among trees. Thesis collage, cross section: the pavilion resting on dry ground, a woman in white beside it.

The module comes from A Proposal to Inhabit, my thesis (UNPHU, 2003, awarded at the Santo Domingo International Architecture Biennial, 2006). The videos on this page are an AI visualisation, 2026.

The tool

Designed with Space Designer, my own program, in use on real commissions: one core; a kitchen, a closet, a bathroom or a pavilion is a configuration.
