该作品由Ambrosi Etchegaray事务所设计构思，通过在时间和空间的自然变换中，展露衰败或融入景观、自然万物，表达场地物质和空间本身。它以最少的建筑材料，最大限度地表达了“愈创木香”的现状和培护。愈创木香俗称‘愈创木’，目前已被列入SEMARNAT濒危物种名录。为了保护该物种，Casa Wabi在当地环境管理单位(UMA)的支持下，决定建立一个愈创木保育和繁殖基地。

The work is an expression of materiality and space itself, where the architecture, developed by the office of Ambrosi Etchegaray, conceived a pavilion that in its transition across space and time benefits from its deterioration or its assimilation into the landscape, into nature, the origin of all things. With a minimal use of materials it finds its maximum expression for presenting and nurturing the “Guaiacum Sanctum L. Zygophyllaceae”, colloquially known as Guayacan, an endemic tree included in the SEMARNAT list of endangered species. With the purpose of protecting the species, Casa Wabi, with support from the Environmental Management Unit (UMA), decided to create a nursery for the care and reproduction of the Guayacan.

设计师认为，建筑只是表达自然的媒介，所以他们构建的新亭子，旨在引导用户和游客来到下沉空间，近距离与树互动，感知温度、大气湿度、空气流动，以及地下水与树木之间的关系。

A project that, from its inception, the authors understood the architect would only be a medium for the expressions that nature offered, so they conceived of a new pavilion that invites the users and visitors to descend into the resulting paths beneath ground level that allowed for a closer interaction to the trees in order to perceive the temperature, the humidity of the atmosphere, the flow of air, and the relationship between the species and the groundwater.

亭子极尽简朴，处处体现了侘寂美学中的不完美主义，但它在入口处投下的巨大阴影为工人和游客创造一个十分舒适的休憩场所，这里就连阳光、水和空气都变得真实，吸引人们去近距离观察愈创木，在一个充满深度、情感、智慧和神秘主义的环境中去发现和重新认识自己。

Through an imperfect beauty and elegance in austerity, the pavilion opens with a large shade that functions as the entrance threshold while simultaneously generating a resting place for the workers and visitors where the sun, water, and air become apparent and invite people to observe the Guayacan close up, to acquaint or reacquaint ourselves with it in a setting that expresses depth, emotion, intelligence, and mysticism.

在简亭后面的幼苗苗圃中继续前行，可以看到，苗圃工作台的土方来自挖掘残余，这种升高式的设计，旨在道德层面呼吁人们关心环境并尊重这里的工作人员，而且这也可以让工作人员在清洁和护理工作台上的新树时，避免长时间弯腰工作，大大减少了他们的体力消耗。

One continues to walk through the seedlings that ensue upon a sequence of work tables whose form are the remains of the excavation. Through this change in level, where the ethic seeks to care for the environment as well as to respect those who work there, the personnel in charge of the plants significantly reduce physical exertion as they clean and care for the new trees upon the work tables and avoiding bending over to work on the ground.
