The structure takes on a Y-shape and it is located in Sydney on the lawn of a bowls club. The structure is clad with [timber](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bolster-pavilion) and is meant to be a versatile [community center](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/reflect-pavilion) that exists harmoniously with the surrounding park. Founder of the studio Sam Crawford notes, "The building is experienced in the round, with a playful and inviting form, drawing people towards and around it. We wanted to create a building with a siting and form that promoted different pockets of space for different community use, as well as defining various park entry points and promoting park-user safety."
