“To see and be seen” is one of the main ideas in the design of the pavilion according to the idea developed by the client.

The pavilion’s floating form and expression are the opposite of its previous function of defense and attack from behind thick walls.

The entrance is through the old military function where the old plan is replaced by a kitchen, toilets, and storage.

The stairs are put in as a central and sculptural element, leading from the closed parts of the bunker and up to the light of the event space.

The floor-to-ceiling windows of the event space provide an unobstructed 360-degree panoramic view of nature, wildlife, and the air base.
