Orangerie Pavilion, Montenegro
This summer house pavilion was designed to compliment the lushious gardens of an existing vila in Montenegro. The octagonal form derives from traditional orangerie rooms which were used to protect fruits and other trees during the winter months and as an added feature to the main garden. As a result, the pavilion is constructed from lasercut steel members which create the main structure and the roof is clad in weathered copper sheets to suit the surrounding landscape palette. Double doors wrap around the perimeter of the pavilion allowing the space to open up to the garden and the views of Budva bay.

The interior features a conteporary take on orangeries with modern cement tile flooring and lighting.
A steel and timber arcade pergola covered by boukenvilia and jasmine crawlers creates a shadowed pathway which leads to the orangerie pavilion at the edge of the site. The entire structure was carefully surveyed and measured off site, manufactured and detailed in Cyprus and shipped to Montenegro where the final assembly took place.
