"Text description provided by the architects. As the nearby trees age, in no hurry, this scaleless piece will become even smaller. Cornered against a dark forest of Coihues (Nothofagus dombeyi), the concentrated and directionless footprint acquires an axial sense, explicitly asymmetrical, with one high side, perhaps completing an imaginary cube, and with its opposite side with no elevation at all."

The pavilion is sited cornered against a dark Coihue forest (Nothofagus dombeyi), creating a stark relationship between the built form and mature trees. The design reads as scaleless and modest, and it is expected to appear even smaller as the nearby trees age slowly. The footprint is concentrated and initially directionless but acquires an axial quality through explicit asymmetry. One side rises higher—suggesting the completion of an imaginary cube—while the opposite side remains without elevation, producing a deliberate contrast of mass and flatness on the site.
