Garden Pavilion \u2013 <\/strong> Homage to a Benzoline Lighthouse<\/h1>\n

This project has transformed the ruins of a ‘Lighthouse\u2019 weight tower with a Benzoline gas-generator into a garden pleasure pavilion. The original outbuilding, known as the \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 at Tamarleigh, once housed an ingenious and rare 1906 Benzoline-based gas generator. The \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 name derives from the tower end of the outbuilding, which housed the weight tower for the gas unit. A weight was wound up the tower, which under the force of gravity, supplied a constant mechanical pressure to produce a flow of gas to the house for lighting and cooking. Gas was created within a cylindrical tank unit, using a process that created gas from liquid Benzoline fuel. The process created an economical and high quality, hygienic gas with high quality light that\u00a0was considered close to natural sunlight. This small-scale project, to create a little garden pleasure pavilion, set in course two ambitious objectives at Tamarleigh; firstly, a rescue mission to save the 1906 gas unit, and secondly, to create a new building referencing the original 1906 \u2018Lighthouse\u2019 outbuilding, to create a new place of reflection in the garden.<\/p>\n
