\"Stockholm<\/div>\n

A pavilion<\/a> by Swedish studio In Praise of Shadows<\/a>, originally created as a companion piece for a Venice Architecture Biennale<\/a> design, has been placed in Stockholm’s Rosendal Garden.<\/span><\/p>\n

Now called Paviljong Rosendal, the building was originally developed as a sister pavilion to a wooden loggia, which In Praise of Shadows<\/a> showed at the Venice Architecture Biennale in 2018.<\/p>\n

Paviljong Rosendal has been on display in the Sundbyberg suburb of Stockholm for the past two years, where it was used as a space for public dialogue during an urban planning process.<\/p>\n

It has now been donated by owner Folkhem, a developer that builds wooden houses, to the Rosendal Garden park in Stockholm.<\/p>\n

To align with the area’s local building traditions, In Praise of Shadows gave the pavilion a colour update, painting it in the characteristic green hue often used in the neighbourhood.<\/p>\n

“At Rosendal, the exterior wood was painted in a locally traditional green colour to anchor it to the site,” Fredric Benesch, who co-founded In Praise of Shadows with Katarina Lundeberg, told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

While the original biennale pavilion was open to the elements, the Swedish version features a polycarbonate<\/a> skin, which was necessary to protect the structure from the country’s harsh winters while bringing added privacy.<\/p>\n

“The wooden structure is identical, but while the Venice pavilion was an open loggia, the Swedish version was adapted to local climate conditions with the addition of a translucent polycarbonate skin,” Benesch said.<\/p>\n
