Set within the vineyards of Rocky Pond Estate in Orondo, Washington, this event pavilion balances the character of a working vineyard with the needs of a flexible gathering and performance venue.
The design responds to its rural setting through a restrained material palette and simple, agricultural forms, to create a building that feels grounded in its surroundings. Located between the Cascade foothills and the Columbia River, the pavilion opens onto the estate vineyards and works in concert with an outdoor amphitheater and stage to support concerts, weddings, and other gatherings.
