Garden Pavilion
Type Addition Status In Construction Location Leafy eastern suburbs of Melbourne
Set within expansive gardens of the client’s home estate, Garden Pavilion is a robust and flexible form. Designed to stand the test of time, the simplicity and artistry of the architecture offers an important adaptability to different inhabitants, occasions and moods. With controlled and considered gestures, the pavilion provides a nuanced balance of openness and shelter; offering space for fun and family entertaining yet also for quiet, private reflection and connection with nature.
Designed for family enjoyment and entertaining, the Pavilion is composed of honest, durable materials that will patinate beautifully with time. Honed concrete, solid masonry, native spotted gum timber and linished stainless steel were chosen with careful consideration for quality and longevity.
While simple in form, the design of the Pavilion responds to the site’s orientation, opportunities and constraints. Offering varied garden aspects, protection from the afternoon sun, prevailing winds and rain, the design provides carefully considered flexibility for family entertaining or retreat.
Inhabitants may sit along the edge of the terrace or preside over the bbq without loosing their view of the lawn bowls game, or perhaps retreat to the western terrace for a private perch to watch the sunsest.
