Whether you’re looking for a practice space, a spot to hone your whittling skills or a covered outdoor porch, the Dragonfly Pavilion is the perfect backyard escape. Designed by CDR and manufactured by SITU Fabrication, the Dragonfly Pavilion is a one room structure designed to protect you from nature and wildlife while still being sensitive to it. As such, they designed and built the pavilion with computer-aided design and an algorithm fabricated to replicate a specific pattern based on dragonfly wings, hence the name Dragonfly Pavilion. The finished product was installed in Hoboken, New Jersey, and is a gorgeous combination of wood, screens, structure and glass that can be assembled in less than a week if you want one of your own in your backyard. It’s a great alternative to a standard gazebo if you’re looking for something a little cooler and more sustainable for dinner or a backyard respite.
