The pavilion is located in Rzeszow, near Lisia Gora, in green areas by the Wislok River. Lisia Góra is a picturesque and peaceful place, surrounded by nature on all sides, which becomes an integral part of the interior through the glazing in the pavilion. Vegetation introduced into the space is intended to evoke a feeling of tranquility and allow close contact with nature.

The location chosen by the designer is distinguished by its proximity to water and large expanse of green areas. Nature surrounds the building on all sides, making it an integral part of the interior. The natural environment has a significant impact on our mental and physical health. The ecological environment promotes a sense of balance, which is conducive to maintaining a stable mental state. The facility was designed to support a society closing in on itself due to pressure and social imbalance. The area where the pavilion is located is designed to emphasize its message, calm visitors and minimize feelings of loneliness through conscious closeness to nature.

Proximity to nature and architecture that supports tranquility
The natural environment surrounding the designed facility supports a state of mental balance, acting soothingly and preventing the effects of excessive stress. The pavilion was created to help people cope with increasing pressure and social isolation, and its location emphasizes the message of the site - encouraging tranquility and enhancing a sense of community with the surrounding nature. The building's distinctive design, with a "broken" roof supported by a steel frame with cross-bracing, resembles a spider web on the inside. The roof, made of milky ETFE plastic, creates interesting reflections of light, while large glazings provide an inflow of natural daylight, enhancing the atmosphere of openness and relaxation.

The space has been divided into several zones. One of the key places in the design is the café - a classic space conducive to meetings and conversations. Thanks to the democratic layout, where guests have a real impact on the atmosphere, the café becomes a place for the free exchange of ideas and making new friends.

Another space is the self-expression zone, where visitors can share their thoughts, which are displayed on the walls via projections. This is a place for barrier-free communication, where records of thoughts create an open dialogue that fosters a shared experience of emotions.

The design also includesa mezzanine, whose color scheme is inspired by Taylor Hartman's theory of personality. Each color - red, blue, white and yellow - corresponds to a different personality type and promotes reflection on emotions, enhancing a sense of understanding and belonging.
