Out & About: Art Pavilion M. in Almere

M. is a museum for immersive art and landart. Studio Ossidiana imagined it as a series of frames, floating in Weerwater lake in the city of Almere. Studio Ossidiana and M. invite you to a presentation and a guided tour of the building with the architects, followed by a drink at the museum bar.

Art Pavilion M. in Almere

Art Pavilion M. is a museum for multimedia art in Almere. It is composed by three circular elements – a pier, a terrace, and a pavilion – opening the institution to performances and installations on water, towards a water square framed by the ring. In 2023, M. was awarded the “Premio Italiano di Architettura under 35” by Milan’s Triennale and Rome’s MAXXI.
M is conceived as a mineral plinth on water, upon which the pavilion and the artworks rest. The three circles are precast terrazzo and concrete elements, while the pavilion is a timber and polycarbonate structure, circled from within by a two- layered curtain, defining alternating facades during day and night. A functional block, hosting bathrooms, an office, and a kitchen, leaves free circulation along the perimeter, and the experience of the subtly changing light hue. The roof is covered in loose shells, filtering rain water.
