The Building Beyond Pastorie project at Hasselt University introduces a pavilion and outdoor earth oven as communal gathering spaces in the garden of an abandoned vicarage.
The design incorporates participatory methods, prioritizes bio-based and reclaimed materials, and serves as a model for environmentally-conscious architecture.
The wooden framework of the pavilion is built from repurposed timber, and the roof is clad with handcrafted wooden shakes sourced from sustainable forests.
The earth oven is constructed using molded earth bricks and finished with lime plaster, while reclaimed materials are used for the foundation and plinth.
