Threshold Pavilion
The Threshold Pavilion emerges from a critical analysis of liminal space within London's evolving urban landscape. Situated at the intersection of two contrasting neighbourhood typologies, the project interrogates the spatial and social implications of boundary conditions. The design proposes a series of layered concrete planes that negotiate between interior and exterior, creating graduated zones of publicness. Each threshold is calibrated to modulate light, sound, and movement — producing an architecture that is experienced sequentially rather than comprehended instantaneously. The material palette — in-situ concrete, raw steel, and polished aggregate — reinforces a tectonic language of weight and permanence, grounding the pavilion within its context while asserting a quiet autonomy.
