The Copper Argument for the Garden Pavilion
Copper belongs in the garden pavilion the way marble belongs in the great garden building — not as a decorative addition but as a material that has always been part of the great garden pavilion traditions of the world.
The classical tradition. The copper detail, the copper panel, the copper architectural element — copper has been part of the classical garden building tradition for centuries. The great pavilions of the English landscape garden, the belvederes of the Italian villa, the kiosks of the Ottoman garden — copper is the material of the great garden building tradition that produced the pavilion.
The architectural argument. The garden pavilion is defined by its architecture — the column, the arch, the ceiling. Copper is the material that makes these architectural elements feel as considered as the architecture they belong to. The copper column wrap that makes the structural element feel as considered as a classical column. The copper arch panel that makes the architectural feature feel as considered as the great arches of history. The copper ceiling panel that makes the pavilion ceiling feel as considered as the painted ceilings of the great garden buildings.
The outdoor argument. Copper is one of the most weather-resistant metals available — and the garden pavilion, though partially covered, is a fully outdoor environment. The copper panel in a garden pavilion develops a natural patina with the seasons — the surface becoming more beautiful with every year, the installation aging with the garden building it belongs to.
Feature Wall Ideas
Garden Pavilion Feature Wall Panel The copper panel on the primary wall of the garden pavilion — the surface that defines the character of the entire outdoor garden building.

A large-format botanical composition — the vine, the leaf, the flower — rendered in deep copper relief, the natural world of the garden pavilion made permanent in copper. A classical composition — the column, the arch, the urn — the classical pavilion tradition rendered in copper. A heraldic composition — the family crest in high relief, the family motto in copper letterforms — the pavilion as a statement of the family's identity. The pavilion name in bold copper letterforms — the garden building named and permanent in copper. A celestial composition — the sun, the moon, the stars — the pavilion as a room open to the sky. A simple hammered texture in a warm finish — the copper speaking through the material alone, the pavilion as a warm, considered surface that makes the outdoor garden building feel as designed as the great garden buildings of history.

"The wisteria panel on the feature wall and the coffered ceiling panel changed the entire garden pavilion. Every time I sit within the outdoor building, the copper makes the garden pavilion feel as considered as the great garden buildings of history — the warm metal on the classical elements, the hammered surface alive in the afternoon light. The pavilion feels like it has always had copper on its walls and ceiling — like the copper was always part of the architecture of the garden." — Natuross customer
