Pinecote Pavilion at The Crosby Arboretum shines as one of the South’s quiet, must-see jewels. Designed by the renowned late architect Fay Jones, the Picayune, Mississippi, landmark is as much an experience as a structure. Reminiscent of Jones’s celebrated Thorncrown Chapel in Arkansas, Pinecote graces its lakeside setting with uncommon elegance. Sit for a while, embraced in its open symmetry, and you can’t help but grasp what Jones intended: This simple shed, devoid of decoration, is wholly of its wooded environment, visibly changing with each passing hour. If, as Jones believed, his best works were instruments on which light could play its own music, then Pinecote Pavilion stages one grand natural symphony.
