This re-creation of a family home, tailored to its occupant’s lifestyles, was realised through the careful consideration of layout and context. Visual and physical connection to landscape and open space is a recurring theme, contributing to a serene and subtropical living experience.

The existing area of the house was delineated from the newer pavilion through the use a restrained material palette consisting of spotted gum timber flooring, dark veneer joinery, and Carrara stone. This approach can also be seen clearly in the treatment of the external of the building.

The design carefully considered solar access and control. The pavilion addition faces north with angled timber blades eliminating solar penetration during the summer, with full sun penetration in winter. Galleries of louvers are oriented to encourage cool airflow from the pool and the cooling bay breeze from the east, while high positioned louvers allow heat to escape.
