The pavilion, named “Sclera”, was made in collaboration with the American Hardwood Export Council to demonstrate how this particular wood is suitable for a wide range of applications.
It was transported in four trucks from Germany and constructed on site by UK company Mtech, working with German fabricators Hess Wohnwerk. Wood preservation specialists Osmose have been technical advisors to the project.
