DoDesign's Drifting Stones Pavilion, nestled in the valleys of Chongqing, China, offers a unique fusion of natural and architectural elements. Inspired by a chance encounter with a flat-topped boulder, the pavilion consists of two main components: a stone path, The Stacks, and a glass-walled rest area, The Hut. This design not only emphasizes the surrounding landscape through visual and tactile experiences, but also blurs the lines between inside and outside, creating a space that deeply resonates with the valley's natural rhythms.
The pavilion's mirrored elements sometimes vanish into the scenery, while its bold, geometric stone forms assert their character.
Encountering the pavilion feels like stumbling upon a relic of an ancient civilization or perhaps a piece of extraterrestrial architecture.
The project's origins are as poetic as the structure itself-a chance discovery of a flat-topped boulder inspired the designers to create an immersive resting space.
Inside the pavilion, frameless glass walls dissolve the boundary between interior and exterior.
