In-Between Pavilion

Blurring Boundaries

The design explores the emotional resonance of spaces that blur the line between exterior and interior. The In-Between Pavilion begins as a closed form with an abstract, seamless exterior and vibrant, unexpected inner rooms. Responding to the site’s dynamics, the pavilion gradually opens, reinterpreting tile tessellation patterns aligned with the site’s axes. This transformation allows the colorful interiors to extend and engage with the public space.

Visitors can choose from four mono-color rooms, each offering an immersive experience of infinite space through mirrored stainless-steel floors and ceilings. Perforated façades allow glimpses into other rooms, creating a fluid interplay between enclosure and openness, and between individual and collective spaces.

Design and Dimensions of the Pavilion

The pavilion features a cubic volume measuring 8.5m x 8.5m x 3m (72.25 m²) with a minimalist white exterior façade. Inside, it houses four distinct color-rooms, each tiled in a unique hue that reflects the key characteristics of the Bethnal Green area, creating a harmonious connection between the design and its context.











Dynamic and Transformable Design:

The perforated façade tiles of the In-Between Pavilion are arranged to dissolve spatial boundaries, creating a fluid condition where one is simultaneously inside one space and outside another. This seamless interaction fosters an indirect yet constant relationship with nature and the public realm.

A key feature of the pavilion is its adaptable façades, allowing visitors to reprogram and rearrange them easily. This transformability enables the pavilion to embody an ever-evolving architectural form, reflecting dynamic interactions and endless possibilities.



Construction and Material Details:

The pavilion’s partition and exterior walls are constructed from a steel frame with horizontal and vertical profiles supporting six rows of opaque porcelain ceramic tiles, each 3–5 mm thick. To align with the design concept of gradual perforation, three tile sizes (50x45 cm, 30x45 cm, and 20x45 cm) were chosen. These tiles, equal in height but varying in width, are cut from standard 100x50 cm or larger tiles, allowing for easy reconfiguration of the façades.

A total of 966 tiles (322 of each size) are used. Larger tiles are fixed, while smaller ones are movable, allowing visitors to slide them sideways using a metal track and roller clamps installed within horizontal steel C-profiles. The pavilion is mounted on a rectangular platform, and the inner color-rooms feature mirrored stainless steel on the ceiling and floor to create a reflective, infinite spatial effect.
