1st. price in a national architectural competition. As well as providing a cafe, a shop and toilets, the placing of the building in the park was totally open. We choose to place the pavilion as a linear building separating the park from the tennis courts, behind the building. The pavilion has a concrete back wall, a granite front wall and wooden roof with top lights. The granite is from the same quarry as the original granite in the park. The south facing front facade provides a popular sunny outside area with a view of the park.
