Openness and restraint define Timber Pavilion by ISSO Architects<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

ISSO Architects designed A Nest in the Tree for MUKA’s exhibition<\/a><\/strong> at IndoBuildTech 2025, Indonesia’s<\/a><\/strong> largest architecture and interior design fair. Occupying an 11-by-17-meter plot, the project rethinks the conventional trade fair booth, prioritizing openness and spatial clarity within the visually dense exhibition environment.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

While exhibition halls often favor maximum density, A Nest in the Tree introduces restraint as a design strategy. By stepping back from the aisle and allowing the space to breathe, the booth establishes a clear threshold, inviting visitors to experience it as a unified spatial composition before entering. The layout follows a simple program, a single counter for welcoming guests, and a gallery for displaying MUKA’s wooden veneer products. The design draws conceptual and material inspiration from the process of veneer making, where thin layers are peeled from solid timber<\/a><\/strong>. Similarly, the booth is formed through an approach of carving and hollowing, subtracting and opening volumes within a solid mass. This operation produces a sequence of interconnected spaces for gathering, viewing, and rest.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

From the exterior, the booth appears as a grounded timber structure, but its interior reveals a network of voids and framed openings that encourage movement and visual exploration. Narrow slits along the facade allow glimpses of the interior, establishing a subtle boundary between privacy and display. For studio<\/a><\/strong> ISSO Architects,\u00a0color and materiality play a central role. Departing from the natural tones typically associated with wood, the design showcases MUKA’s distinctive veneer colors through a layered chromatic experience. A muted grey facade opens to a vivid red central counter and a surrounding green wall. This gradient highlights the range of veneer textures and finishes while guiding visitors through distinct zones of the installation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Each spatial element, like the veranda, foyer, nook, and courtyard, serves a specific function within the compact footprint. Together, they define a small architectural system that balances openness with enclosure. The result is a booth that functions both as a display environment and a temporary architectural installation, demonstrating how material experimentation and spatial restraint can transform exhibition design into a cohesive architectural experience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
