As part of Milan Design Week 2011 David Trubridge is showing his latest design piece, Dream Space - an internal ‘break-out’ space for quiet contemplation.

Applying the process of building minimal structures to architecture, Dream Space is intended as a gazebo. The wood is thermally modified, plantation-grown pine which has been heated to make it durable outdoors without the use of poisonous chemicals. It has an oiled finish. The junctions are aluminium plates fastened with rivets.

The dome is built in six sections which can be taken apart for easy transport - the entire set would fit inside a suitcase, yet it produces a remarkably strong and stable structure. A timber floor, made from the same material, can be supplied and a waterproof covering is available, with a fabric cover currently under development.
