The Pavilion for Music & Meditation is a private refuge for contemplation, retreats, and philanthropic events. Holistically designed for wellbeing, the Pavilion offers visitors a profound communion with nature and a controlled acoustic space for experiencing music and the environmental soundscape. Gradually, the Pavilion will embed itself in the landscape; the wood will weather, the zinc roof will patina, and the basalt will grow lichen and moss. Part of a larger fire-damaged landscape restoration, this secluded outpost reflects a vision for a more reciprocal relationship with nature.
