Paul Archer Design: Jinadal Pavilion, Barnes, London

"Our client wanted a space for meditation; something inward-looking yet closely attuned to the site. The wall and roof planes were not allowed to touch at the corners, which allows the space to flow freely."

This meditation pavilion, for client Rajat and Kavita Jindal, is at the end of a large garden and is conceived as a set of four exterior walls that are not joined, but which shield the glass within. This creates a private but open space and a small walled courtyard. What really catches the eye is the multi-purpose nature of the space within. A large timber storage wall contains a foldaway bed and desk, to transform the space from one of relaxation to one of labour or sleep.
