Prefabricated garden retreat snaps together in less than a week

If your dream garden look like something from a fantasy world, you’ll love this Dragonfly Pavilion built for a backyard in Hoboken, New Jersey. Built from sustainably harvested and <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/fsc-certified/" target="_blank">FSC-certified</a> Sapele mahogany and recycled aluminum, this beautifully intricate garden shed takes inspiration from the complex pattern of butterfly and dragonfly wings. New York-based <a href="http://www.cdrstudio.com/" target="_blank">CDR Studio Architects</a> designed this prefabricated backyard retreat, which took less than one week to install.

Prefabricated by SITU Fabrication, Dragonfly Pavilion is made with a recycled aluminum frame clad in Sapele lumber and large sections of glazing.

The Dragonfly Pavilion’s simple rectangular form allows for a variety of programs, from use as a yoga studio to a small dining area.

The glazing is broken up by a gradient of complex geometric shapes, or cells, that give the structure its delicate, dragonfly wing-like appearance.

The wing-like pattern was derived from a computer-generated algorithm.
