Frequently Asked Questions

What is the origin of the VDL Pavilion design?

The VDL Pavilion is based on the VDL Research House in Los Angeles, completed by Richard Neutra in 1932 and rebuilt with his son Dion in 1963 after a fire. Kettal worked from the original architectural documentation to preserve the modular structure and proportional language of the house.

Can the VDL Pavilion be configured to different sizes?

Yes. The pavilion inherits the modular logic of Neutra's original design, which was conceived for expansion and reconfiguration. Units can be combined to create a range of footprints suited to different site conditions and programmatic needs.

What materials is the VDL Pavilion made from?

Kettal has updated the material palette for outdoor durability, using weather-resistant finishes and structural components engineered to perform in exposed conditions, while maintaining the proportions and visual character of Neutra's architecture.

How does the VDL Pavilion address climate and shade?

The design incorporates passive climate-control principles that Neutra pioneered in his residential work, including roof overhangs and structural geometry calibrated to manage solar exposure and airflow in an outdoor setting.

Is the VDL Pavilion available as a custom or made-to-order product?

The VDL Pavilion is offered on a made-to-order basis. Configuration, dimensions, and site-specific requirements are addressed through a consultation process with the supplying design resource.
