Customers can climb the glass steps and sit on platforms within the structure of cubes, or sit at these tables on the ground.
Serpentine Gallery Pavilion 2013

This year the temporary tea pavilion was designed by 41 year old Japanese architect Sou Fujimoto. It is a structure of white steel rods forming cubes. The "roof" is a set of circular transparent disks set inside the cubic lattice - presumably they overlap so that rain does not fall through. [Edit: after some rainy days - apparently the rain does drip through and the staff told me they use umbrellas inside.] There are glass steps, platforms and seats such that visitors can climb up onto the structure inside or outside. Although it looks like a climbing frame, children are dissuaded from climbing where there are no platforms.
