Hill Pavilion
An outdoor room for a rural landscape.
PROJECT VITALS
Location: Hunter Region, NSW
Type: Outdoor Living Addition
Service: Design & Documentation
Status: Documentation Complete
THE CONTEXT
An elevated site with views over the local floodplains. The project required a functional outdoor area to connect the existing verandah, pool, and garden without compromising natural light to the interior living spaces.
THE DESIGN
The addition is conceived as a distinct pavilion. A double-skillion roof form cantilevers over the existing structure, leaving the original building fabric intact. To preserve interior light, a translucent bridge between the new and old roofs allows northern sunlight to wash into the home. Integrated masonry and timber screening provide wind protection while focusing views toward the landscape.
KEY FEATURES
Structural Independence: A cantilevered system that sits above the original roofline without intervention.
Light Preservation: A translucent roof zone designed to maintain natural light levels in the primary living areas.
Environmental Response: Timber batten screening and masonry walls used to mitigate wind exposure and define service zones.
