Designed to maximize natural light and capture views of the majestic Blue Mountains, the innovative pavilion-style architecture seamlessly blends modernity with traditional elements, catering to diverse tastes.

Pavilion-Style Architecture

Inspired by the concept of pavilion architecture, the home features two interconnected pavilions, each serving a distinct purpose while fostering openness and connectivity. This design not only maximizes natural light throughout living spaces and bedrooms but also creates visual interest and spatial fluidity.

Sun Optimization and Safety

Situated in a bushfire-prone area, the design prioritizes sun optimization while ensuring safety and comfort. Strategic placement of windows, sunhoods, and pergolas allows sunlight to permeate the interiors, bathing the living spaces and bedrooms in a warm, inviting glow. Measures are also in place to mitigate the harsh summer afternoon sun, ensuring a comfortable indoor environment year-round.

Harmonious Blend of Styles

Understanding the unique preferences of the clients—one drawn to modern aesthetics and the other to the rustic charm of historic stone homes—the design seamlessly marries the two styles. Modern architectural elements harmoniously coexist with traditional stone accents, creating a distinctive visual narrative that celebrates both past and present.

Captivating Views

Capitalizing on the picturesque surroundings, special attention is given to framing views of the iconic Blue Mountains. Expansive windows strategically frame panoramic vistas, inviting the outside in and establishing a profound connection with nature. Whether lounging in the living spaces or unwinding in the bedrooms, residents are treated to breathtaking views that inspire and provide tranquility.
