The Infobox competition requested a pavilion style beacon for the Tribeca housing development in Liverpool functioning as a marketing and information space for Urban Splash throughout the construction period.

Acknowledging Liverpool’s history of strong community spirit, we investigated the roots of what ‘home’ means and decided to concentrate on the archetypal form of the house. We extruded this form, creating a public representation of all the living spaces of the house, adapting them to their function and even included glazed ‘net curtains’. We continued the gable form of the house through to the long traditional back garden adding a walkway and viewing platform allowing visitors to be able to watch the surrounding construction process.

The result was a pavilion which allowed for the demands of its function whilst staying true to its roots.
