It is on the Grans CAyman in the Cayman Islands and was formed with the help of landscape architect Malthe Morck Clausen. This is comprised of a pebbled path that travels through the premises of the space which had been abandoned nearly 20 years ago after hurricane damage. The Duho Pavilion is comprised of a series of 30 [reflective aluminum poles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/missing-room). Founder of Limbo Accura, Dominique Petit-Frère explains that the Duho Pavilion is "Inspired by the building's organic transformation as an oasis for plant life and various non-human species, such as frogs, serpents, butterflies and lizards, we decided to shift our focus from the building's concrete shell to the new ecosystem it created [...] Our goal was to create a space that honours the existing landscape, carving a direct path through and installing reflective aluminium poles along it to blend the boundaries of the pavilion and the natural surroundings."
