Pavilion of Stillness is a timber-built community space nestled in the Vladiceasca forest – a calm retreat for gathering, play, and quiet reflection. Inspired by traditional village rituals, the pavilion invites nature into its core, creating a fluid boundary between forest and architecture. 

Built from sustainable CLT and open to seasonal use, the structure hosts a variety of informal activities – from café moments and workshops to neighborhood events – all gently held within a soft, adaptable form.
