Pineapple Pavilion

A pink origami pineapple has popped up in an elegant garden in Herefordshire, England. Artists and architects Heather and Ivan Morison of Studio Morison built the structure.

The gardens are at Berrington Hall, a historic mansion built in the 1770s. The Morisons wanted their creation to fit in with the gardens but still look modern and fun. The design was inspired by origami, the Japanese art of folding paper. The origami pineapple design was scaled up to an 8-meter-tall structure made of wood. Fiberglass fabric was then stretched over the frame and coated to make it weatherproof. Pineapples have historically been grown at Berrington Hall, but the Morisons didn’t set out to make a pineapple-shaped structure—they consider it a happy accident!
