Since 2022, the gazebo has been a meeting place, inviting people to come together during the frost-free months. The gazebo's special shape is remarkable and at the same time, it fits easily into the redesigned park due to its organic structure.
Structure
The pavilion's shape symbolizes a newly blooming flower, with 16 supporting lamellas forming a circle covered by a cantilevered roof. The displaced circle is inclined by six degrees, so that all lamellas and all interspaces have different dimensions.
The outer diameter is about 19 ft, the maximum height is about 13 ft. The roof overhangs up to 15 ft. Both the columns and the wall elements were prefabricated and assembled on site.Indermühle Bauingenieure were responsible for the structural engineering of this interesting customer project using our RFEM structural analysis and design program. It is nice to see that more and more timber design projects are being built.
