A room with a view

Seminar House Pavillion

A pavilion designed and built by architecture students at Kingston University, Surrey, under the watchful eyes of tutors, Takeshi Hayatsu and Simon Jones, was shortlisted in the Architectural Journal's 2017 Small Projects Awards.

The structure, entitled Seminar House Pavilion, was constructed in the grounds of Dorich House Museum in Kingston, Surrey. Spanning three storeys, it incorporates a meeting room and viewing deck complete with picnic area. The entire structure was constructed from 100 sheets ofSterlingOSB, the supporting legs clad in decorative zinc, a middle tier with attractive timber lattice sections and chestnut wood shingles and the top tier sporting planks of charred timber, all linked by internal ladders.

Takeshi Hayatsu explained the reasons for turning to SterlingOSB: "On this project we wanted to look at a contemporary method of timber construction and also wanted to use materials sourced in the UK. We needed a light-weight panel due to limited funds and machinery and SterlingOSB is much lighter in comparison to plywood and easier to handle".

The Seminar House Pavilion was one of twenty projects shortlisted from nearly two hundred entries.
