Structure
The simple form of an angular box pavilion references the existing house and is defined by the materiality of shiplap cladding, timber batten sunshades. A timber deck provides outdoor living space and provides terraced steps to connect to the native garden below.
The Silvertop Ash batten sunshades and Eucalyptus canopy provide a daily shadow play over angled Silvertop Ash walls and Blackbutt decking. These natural materials will blend into the environment over time, where the original intentions of a simple timber pavilion that becomes part of nature is delivered.
