Pavilhão Chinês

"É um bar? Um museu?Quem lá entra pela primeira vez dificilmente consegue disfarçar o deslumbramento.Ao som da campainha, um empregado impecavelmente vestido com calças pretas de vinco, colete e laço vermelhos por cima da camisa branca, abre a porta ao cliente e acompanha-o até às mesas.Por cima da música ambiente variada – techno, R&B, jazz – ouve-se falar espanhol, alemão e inglês.São muitos milhares de peças de colecção divididas tematicamente por cinco salas decoradas pelo dono do bar, Luís Pinto Coelho. “As peças são todas pessoais. Ele começou a coleccioná-las desde os 12 ou 14 anos e quando abriu este bar resolveu pôr cá as peças todas que tinha em casa”, conta António Pinto.Apesar de o bar ter sido inaugurado em 18 de Fevereiro de 1986, supõe-se que o Pavilhão Chinês date de 1901. A publicidade boca-a-boca é a principal forma de promoção do Pavilhão Chinês. “A nossa publicidade é feita exclusivamente através dos cartões e postais que as pessoas levam. Depois, os próprios turistas vão passando a palavra”, diz António Pinto.“É interessante e original, muito diferente dos outros. Entrou directamente para a minha lista de bares preferidos”." -Recolhido do texto introdutivo no blog deste magnifico bar.

Sunset Cabin, Lake Simcoe, Ontario

The Cool Hunter - April 11 2008

The owner couple of this beautiful pre-fabricated cabin on the shores of Lake Simcoe in Ontario, Canada, has been coming to their large recreational property for a quarter-century. But the big property in a great recreational location translated into lots of overnight guests and no privacy for the owners.

They felt they needed a 'getaway,' a place at their own property where they could capture the peace and serenity of the surrounding four-season nature without disturbing any of the existing trees or structures. They needed a place that remembers what the Simcoe cottage-country is all about.

The brilliant, award-winning solution by Toronto-based Taylor Smyth Architects is the one-room Sunset Cabin, a real cabin with a decidedly contemporary feel. The wonderful cabin has won several architectural and design awards and met the clients’ needs perfectly.

It is a one-room (190 square feet in size), self-contained box that was built by furniture craftsmen in four weeks in a Toronto parking lot and installed on site in 10 days.

Three of the exterior walls are floor-to-ceiling glass and of those, two are encased in horizontal cedar-screens for privacy, shade and light effects inside. One of the cedar screens has a large opening providing a direct view of the sunset from the built-in bed. The rest of the screen has random smaller gaps to allow various vignettes of the surrounding nature and to create fantastic light patterns inside. The slats are positioned so that there is no direct view in from the outside, but at the same time, it the inside feels almost wall-less.



The untreated cedar of the outer structure will turn silvery grey over time, helping the cabin blend in with its natural surroundings. In addition, the roof, visible from the existing main building, is a green roof planted with native plants of the area, further ensuring that the building mixes in with the landscape rather than sticks out in it.

All interior surfaces are unpainted birch veneer plywood, including the built-in storage cabinets. Doors at both ends of the cabin allow for cross ventilation. The interior floor extends outside to form a deck where the rustic feel continues with the screened-off outdoor shower.

The owners are apparently spending more time at their property than ever before. They enjoy the cabin year-round, heating it by a wood-burning stove and, if needed, electric heaters. Most likely, they are not inviting guests to share the space, so we can join in only by admiring the images. By Tuija Seipell
