# Swirly-Twirly Sustainable Gazebos The Spiral Garden Pavillion is a Revolving Outdoor Retreat By Sarah Moore | Published 2012-04-16 | Eco Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spiral-garden-pavillion References: [michaeljantzen](http://www.michaeljantzen.com/) The [Spiral Garden Pavilion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/carbon-garden-pavilion) is another eco-friendly architectural venture from conceptual sculptor Michael Jantzen. Comprised of four [adjustable panels](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transmutation-observatory), the slotted outdoor hangout is made from sustainably grown wood and powered by a large solar panel on the roof. Each panel can be opened and closed in a multitude of positions and slide around the center axis similar to how a set of revolving doors do. Resting atop a circular disk, the twirling structure resembles an outdoor patio set with slatted wood that allows light to leak into the center. The solar panel charges batteries inside the retreat space to power its main light fixture. These batteries can also be used to run electronic devices and small appliances for anyone who wants to use the space for a more interactive retreat. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 5.0/10 - Popularity: 63% | Activity: 79% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Eco](https://www.trendhunter.com/eco) > [Eco Architecture](https://www.trendhunter.com/ecoarchitecture) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Adjustable Outdoor Structures:** The trend of adjustable outdoor structures presents opportunities for innovative designs that can cater to various user preferences and needs. - **Sustainable Architecture:** The trend of sustainable architecture creates opportunities for incorporating eco-friendly materials and energy-efficient technologies into outdoor structures. - **Integrated Solar Power:** The trend of integrating solar power into outdoor structures opens up possibilities for self-sufficient and eco-friendly energy solutions. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Architecture:** The architecture industry can explore new materials and designs to create adjustable and sustainable outdoor structures. - **Renewable Energy:** The renewable energy industry can develop solar panels and energy storage solutions optimized for outdoor applications. - **Outdoor Leisure:** The outdoor leisure industry can incorporate adjustable and eco-friendly outdoor structures into their product offerings to enhance user experiences. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Solar Energy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2.md) - [Interactive Architectural Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/folding-landscape.md) - [Organic Spiral Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pasona-natureverse-pavilion.md) - [Grid-Connected Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion.md) - [Rotating Solar-Powered Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/a-solarpowered-bench-that-spins-ever-so-slowly.md) - [Cozy Gaden Cabin Retreats](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/garden-pavilion.md) - [Tranquil Round Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-round-pavilion.md) - [Kinetic Interaction Pavilions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/transmutation-observatory.md) - [Rotating Solar Powered Benches](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/eness-1.md)
