Inspired by traditional Mexican indigenous architecture, this proposal seeks to create a link between the modern architecture at Casa Wabi and the traditional forms of local cultures, thus creating a spaces that is beautiful and welcoming to both locals and those visiting from outside. The pavilion sits in harmony with the surrounding structures, and all materials and construction methods are based on traditional methods of construction.  Orchids are an incredibly diverse species of flower with two main groups of plant: those that grow on trees and those which grow on the ground. This proposal for Orchid Pavilion provides a small protected inner courtyard 3m in radius for the delicate preservation of ground orchids. The inner courtyard provides simple wooden seats and a local central tree provides support for hanging orchids to grow on their natural habitat. On the outside perimeter, a shaded “hall of flowers” allows for orchids to hang or latch to the pavilion’s facade which is composed of vertical posts of locally sourced wood.
