Royal Yacht Squadron New Pavilion

Cowes Castle, Cowes, Isle of Wight

1996/8 design, 1990/00 construction

A new-build pavilion to compliment the Squadron's
existing facilities in the cramped Tudor castle. The new building
is a contemporary rendering of the traditional garden pavilion with
a copper roof and an exposed steel structure. The existing garden
levels have been recontoured to conceal the service link with the
castle and to reduce the building's apparent bulk when viewed from
the Solent. The sheltered courtyard created behind the pavilion
can be spanned at will with a sliding tensile roof.
