Prefab Pavillion facing a centuries-old cedar | Jordi Hidalgo Tané, Arquitectura
Olot / Spain / 2021
Nestled in the garden of a family home in a residential neighborhood adjacent to a large industrial park, a small pavilion sits before a centuries-old cedar tree.
Its location and volume are determined by strict regulations, its internal configuration is governed by a geobiological study, and its construction system is a result of time and budget constraints.
An industrialized construction of prefabricated concrete is proposed, similar to that of the industrial buildings in the nearby park, adapting the system to the scale of residential use.
The possibilities of the prefabricated system are explored to the fullest, with special emphasis on corner junctions, panel assemblies, and the surface finishes of the concrete, resulting in an elegant, light-looking exterior that contrasts with a dense and profound interior bathed in light filtered through the textures of the concrete and oriented towards the existing cedar tree and garden. Measuring approximately 12 meters long and 10 meters wide, the pavilion subtly plays with conventions, employing a distinctly industrial construction system that contrasts with a refined and elegant vocabulary in its execution and finishes.
With a budget of €150,000, the pavilion was designed and manufactured in a workshop over six months, assembled in five days, and occupied three months later under the watchful gaze of the centuries-old cedar tree.

Enclavado en el jardín de la casa familiar en un barrio residencial adyacente a un gran polígono industrial , un pequeño pabellón se sitúa ante un cedro centenario.
Su ubicación y volumetría vienen determinadas por la estricta normativa, su configuración interna la rige el estudio geobiológico y su sistema constructivo es fruto de las limitaciones de plazos y presupuesto.
Se plantea una construcción industrializada de hormigón prefabricado, similar al de las naves industriales del polígono cercano, adaptando el sistema a la escala de uso residencial.
Se exploran al máximo las posibilidades del sistema prefabricado poniendo especial énfasis los encuentros en esquina, los ensamblajes entre placas y los acabados superficiales del hormigón, dando como resultado una elegante construcción de apariencia ligera en el exterior, que contrasta con un denso y profundo interior bañado por una luz tamizada por las texturas del hormigón y volcado hacia el cedro y el jardín existentes.
Con unos 12 metros de largo y 10 de ancho, el pabellón juega sutilmente con las convenciones, recurriendo a un sistema constructivo claramente industrial, que contrasta con un vocabulario refinado y elegante en su ejecución y acabados.
Con un presupuesto de 150.000€, el pabellón se proyectó y fabricó en taller durante seis meses, se ensambló en 5 días y tres meses más tarde se habitó bajo la atenta mirada del cedro centenario.
