Haberkorn Pavilion

The Haberkorn Pavilion was designed as a multifunctional meeting place in the south-eastern area of the company premises in Wolfurt. It combines ecological enhancement of the outdoor space with the need for informal meeting and retreat areas in everyday working life. The open, landscaped setting references the topographical qualities of the adjacent reed area, while the integrative usage concept also supports smaller events, breaks or outdoor work meetings. The project is part of a long-term strategy for the ecological and social development of the site. In its implementation, a conscious decision was made to use simple, deconstructable construction methods and regional materials. The combination of rammed earth and timber creates a robust, climate-regulating structure that also serves as a learning environment for future specialists – realized in collaboration with carpentry apprentices and architecture students. The pavilion is a built interface between the world of work, environmental awareness and learning culture.

Die Kombination von Stampflehm und Holz schafft eine robuste, klimaregulierende Struktur, die gleichzeitig als Lernfeld für zukünftige Fachkräfte diente – realisiert in Zusammenarbeit mit Zimmermannslehrlingen und Architekturstudierenden. Der Pavillon ist ein gebaute Schnittstelle zwischen Arbeitswelt, Umweltbewusstsein und Lernkultur.

The pavilion is divided into two functional elements: a rammed earth structure at ground level with a stabilizing effect and a cantilevered timber roof above, which is reversibly constructed using simple plug-in connections. The form is open, permeable and related to the surrounding garden space. The spatial atmosphere is created by the contrast between the solid earth structure and the light roofing – a reference to the transition zones of the reed landscape. The accessibility is barrier-free, the use is not fixed, but open for different situations: working together, resting, short meetings or small public events. The pavilion is an architectural gesture without monumentality – a precisely placed, simple space with a high quality of stay. The systematic approach and spatial clarity have the potential to be transferred to other contexts, whether in the public, business or school environment.
