  • About Firm
    One Take Architects is devoted to discover the unrevealing relationship and various possibilities in existing context, strive to achieve subtle, emotional spaces that can have multiple readings, create architecture that is logical, sustainable, and that speaks of its time. In order to create the new perception and experience which are exclusive to each project, One Take Architects designed a series of activating ephemeral architectures, small but capable leveraging something really important.

Mandala Pavilion is a temporary museum for Tibet Culture. Its external layout is arranged like a labyrinth. The staggered steps surprise visitors with a perspective illusion, motivating their physical interaction with the building. Mingling with façade lines that resemble the skylines of Namcha Barwa, the unadorned stones isolate the building from the full-blown metropolitan atmosphere.
Flexible system was special customized to ensure that all components could be quickly assembled without destroying the base.
