Occupying an 11-by-17-meter plot, the project rethinks the conventional trade fair booth, prioritizing openness and spatial clarity within the visually dense exhibition environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>While exhibition halls often favor maximum density, A Nest in the Tree introduces restraint as a design strategy. By stepping back from the aisle and allowing the space to breathe, the booth establishes a clear threshold, inviting visitors to experience it as a unified spatial composition before entering. The layout follows a simple program, a single counter for welcoming guests, and a gallery for displaying MUKA\u2019s wooden veneer products. The design draws conceptual and material inspiration from the process of veneer making, where thin layers are peeled from solid <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/wood-and-timber-architecture\/\">timber<\/a><\/strong>. Similarly, the booth is formed through an approach of carving and hollowing, subtracting and opening volumes within a solid mass. This operation produces a sequence of interconnected spaces for gathering, viewing, and rest.<\/p>\n<p>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/issoarchitects\/\">ISSO Architects<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"wow wow-yellow\">A Nest in the Tree features\u00a0network of voids and framed openings<\/h2>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>From the exterior, the booth appears as a grounded timber structure, but its interior reveals a network of voids and framed openings that encourage movement and visual exploration. Narrow slits along the facade allow glimpses of the interior, establishing a subtle boundary between privacy and display. For <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/issoarchitects\/\">studio<\/a><\/strong> ISSO Architects,\u00a0color and materiality play a central role. Departing from the natural tones typically associated with wood, the design showcases MUKA\u2019s distinctive veneer colors through a layered chromatic experience. A muted grey facade opens to a vivid red central counter and a surrounding green wall. This gradient highlights the range of veneer textures and finishes while guiding visitors through distinct zones of the installation.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Each spatial element, like the veranda, foyer, nook, and courtyard, serves a specific function within the compact footprint. Together, they define a small architectural system that balances openness with enclosure. The result is a booth that functions both as a display environment and a temporary architectural installation, demonstrating how material experimentation and spatial restraint can transform exhibition design into a cohesive architectural experience.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p>ISSO Architects designs A Nest in the Tree for MUKA at IndoBuildTech 2025<\/p>\n<p>the booth reinterprets exhibition design through openness and restraint<\/p>\n<p>a setback from the aisle allows the space to breathe within a crowded hall<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>inspired by the process of veneer making, the booth emerges through carving and subtraction<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>the layout centers on a single counter and a veneer display gallery<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the structure evokes layers peeled from timber, transforming solid mass into space<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>interconnected voids form zones for gathering, pause, and display<\/p>\n<p>the exterior presents a grounded timber volume within the exhibition hall<\/p>\n<p>inside, voids and framed openings invite gradual exploration<\/p>\n<p>color and material define the spatial rhythm of the installation<\/p>\n<p>\t<!-- CLOSE ARTICLE CONTENT --><\/p>\n<div class=\"fullwidth-image\">\n<div class=\"layout-box\">\n<div class=\"page-content\">\n<p>the design balances visibility and enclosure through controlled openings<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<p>\t<!-- OPEN ARTICLE CONTENT -->\t<\/p>\n<p>narrow facade slits reveal glimpses of interior activity<\/p>\n<p>a muted grey facade opens to a vivid red counter at the core<\/p>\n<p>veneer surfaces highlight texture, color, and light variation<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>View this post on Instagram<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/reel\/DLmjN39SMwI\/?utm_source=ig_embed&amp;utm_campaign=loading\">A post shared by MUKA (@muka_surface)<\/a><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>project info:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><strong>name:<\/strong>\u00a0A Nest in the Tree<br \/>\n<strong>designer:<\/strong> ISSO Architects | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/issoarchitects\/\">@issoarchitects<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>lead architects:<\/strong> Wibisono Soegih, Stephanie Tatimu<\/p>\n<p><strong>design team:<\/strong> Rangga Cakra Birawa, Arini Zairina Putri, Nabila Rachmasari Putri<\/p>\n<p><strong>location:<\/strong> ICE BSD City, Indonesia<\/p>\n<p><strong>host:<\/strong> IndoBuildTech 2025<\/p>\n<p><strong>brand:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/mukasurfaces.com\/\">MUKA<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/muka_surface\/\">@muka_surface<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">designboom has received this project from our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers-submit\"><span class=\"s1\">DIY submissions<\/span><\/a>\u00a0feature, where we welcome our readers to submit their own work for publication. see more project submissions from our readers\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/readers\/\"><span class=\"s1\">here.<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">\u00a0<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">edited by: christina vergopoulou | designboom<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/architecture\/circular-timber-pavilion-voids-slits-variety-veneer-textures-finishes-isso-architects-10-17-2025\/\">circular timber pavilion with voids and slits displays variety of veneer textures and finishes<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/\">designboom | architecture &amp; design magazine<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Openness and restraint define Timber Pavilion by ISSO Architects \u00a0 ISSO Architects designed A Nest in the Tree for MUKA\u2019s exhibition at IndoBuildTech 2025, Indonesia\u2019s largest architecture and interior design fair.
