Nestled in the forest of the Ozark foothills surrounding Greers Ferry Lake, the Red Fox Kitchen Pavilion is designed as a dedicated outdoor cooking space. The pavilion is a contemporary interpretation of the frequently-ignored and mundane rv carport, which serve as protections for homes in the region and a means of supporting local recreation. A corrugated metal storage volume with an operable swinging partition is placed within a square shade shed canopy supported by a grid of 6x6 dimensional pine columns and beams. A pine bridge, made from only 2x4s and 4x4s and intended to naturally silver overtime, connect the pavilion to the main home's back porch.
Utilizing a limited, simple and economic set of elements familiar to it's place, the Red Fox Kitchen Pavilion demonstrates the value and utility of a local building tradition through a simple contemporary expression.
