Occupying approximately 70 square meters, the Guest Pavilion is a visiting living room that functions as a stand-alone building, an extension of Fran Silvestre's project developed in the studio. The human scale of the pavilion makes it a comfortable space in which to experience life in a garden. The pavilion consists of two rooms: a bedroom and a living room with a kitchen. There are also two bathrooms, one for a gazebo and the other to support the pool.
Inside, the building aims to minimise its impact on the garden. In this way, the pavilion is close to a boundary of the land, perpendicular to the pool, showing its thinner and opaque side to the existing building.
In the other direction, the work is a passage, connected with the landscaped space and the courtyard between the pavilion and the wall. Century-old olive, sweetgum and pomegranate trees, as well as the pool terrace, are the link between the building and the garden. The leaves of sweetgum filter sunlight according to the season.
