The original prefabricated pavilion houses an American doctorate program in Berlin, Germany; Designed by Barkow Leibinger. The roof is supported at the corners by four I-beam columns, which also serve as rainwater drains. An oak-plank-clad steel platform sits slightly above the ground and is the primary surface for both exterior and interior spaces. A glass façade of sliding doors and glazing sits back from the building’s perimeter, which creates a continuous porch area around the entire structure and allows for increased transparency into and from the pavilion. Inside, the 7m. study spaces are divided by ceiling-high walls, constructed of glass, oak, and steel. The individual spaces open to an internal corridor via glass doors, and into the garden area via large glass sliding-doors, which may be shuttered by curtains for privacy. Each office is outfitted with built-in metal shelves, drawers, and a desk, complemented by freestanding furniture from Vitra. The three-layer glazing, floor and wall heating, and well-insulated floors and roof contribute to the energy efficient structure.
