Situated in White Gum Valley with north facing orientation, the extension is designed as a minimal yet textural ‘pavilion in the garden’. The new living dining pavilion is connected by a glass linkway providing north light into the heart of the house, and very good cross ventilation to the home.
The living room features a random rubble stone blade wall. This focal element forms a spine wall extending to the outside accentuating the indoor-outdoor nature of the design, whilst also protecting from the harsh western sun. This is further refined through the utilisation of frameless glass highlights and up lighting to create a clean simple ceiling, which lightly floats the roof plane above and draws the eye along the stone blade wall.
The living pavilion, when opened up, essentially acts as a breezeway in the garden with significant double sliding doors to both the north and south.
