Hermans Tasting Room Pavilion: A Fusion of Architecture and Nature
Hermans Tasting Room Pavilion is a refined architectural intervention in Pendle Hill, seamlessly integrating structure and landscape. Engaging in a dialogue between movement and stillness, urban density and open space, the pavilion draws inspiration from the traditional Japanese tea house, balancing lightness and permanence, material honesty, and contextual sensitivity. Anchored by a concrete-formed base, the structure unfolds through laminated veneer lumber (LVL) cross-bracing, a modular LVL roofing grid, and steel roofing sheets, ensuring resilience while fostering a sense of openness.
