Dom Pavilion:

To See & Be Seen

This pavilion for the courtyard of the IVY on George Street in Central Sydney was commissioned as a new, central undercover area within the central courtyard, conceived as a device “to see and to be seen”.

Project Story

Wrapping around the existing staircase with a set of thin structural ribs and a transparent roof, it maintains sight lines, and becomes visible from all sides and from above. The structure also allows programmatic transformation, becoming at other times a stage for the venue.

The structure was prefabricated in the factory and installed on site over two days. The construction is reversible: completely freestanding, it doesn’t require any attachments to the existing building.
