The Pavilion

 
 

Outdoor living at its finest!

The Pavilion; a flexible architectural open space, one structure providing shelter from, & connection to the outdoors. A space for work or play, privacy or a party.

“....meticulous attention to design and detail in replicating key features of our existing structures and balancing environmental features such as use of sunlight, privacy and overall amenity.”
— Chris (Client)






Form

The retractable roof to the north allows the winter sun to spill into the space at the touch of a button.

Function

The three zones, eating, cooking & washing are split & located in relation to the levels of privacy & natural light required.

The entertaining space takes centre stage adjacent the outdoor kitchen with the laundry concealed behind the sandstone walls.
