Pool Pavilion, Switzerland
Integrating indoor and outdoor
Tucked away within surrounding hedges, Swiss architectural firm Think Architecture has created a tranquil pool pavilion for a private client in Zürich. Crafted from black steel and charred wood and surrounded by climbing plants, the pavilion’s minimalist design blends seamlessly with its natural setting, offering a sophisticated retreat.
The pavilion is thoughtfully divided into two key areas: a kitchenette and a fireplace, ensuring its functionality year-round. In the summer, sliding windows open the space entirely to the outdoors, allowing for a fluid connection with nature. Around the large dining table, Børge Mogensen’s J39 chairs contrast the charred wood facade and stone floors, adding comfort and understated elegance.
By balancing simplicity with practicality, the pavilion exemplifies a seamless fusion of modern design and the natural world, creating a versatile and serene space for every season.
