The primary structure is made entirely of untreated Scottish Douglas Fir. The roof is clad in untreated, heartwood larch shingles whilst doors and windows are made from laminated Scottish oak. The pavilion was designed and built in collaboration the Gaia Group who were approached by Scottish Enterprise and the Scottish Forest Industries Cluster Group because of their strong eco principles.
