DAMPFWERK DISTILLERY
Reclaiming a disused parking lot, this pavilion creates a sheltered outdoor seating area for a family-owned distillery.
The design centers on a pair of vaulted oculi, which project upwards to gather sunlight into the shady, east-facing space during its main operating hours. The geometry of this faceted inner skin is sculpted by the annual movement of the sun, marking summer and winter solstices with precise alignments.
