The gazebo form is caused on one hand by the desire of architects to create the most-airy, subtle forms so that the sizeable structure does not look heavy. On the other hand – to hide the space from the neighboring area – there are large volumes of satinated glass. In the direction of the garden and the forest, volumes, on the contrary, are as open as possible. In the dark, the object creates a special impression due to LED lighting around the perimeter. Mysteriously shining among the ancient trees, the gazebo looks intriguing, resembling either a flying saucer or a giant Chinese lantern.
