The building is surrounded by the existing olive grove, located on a gentle west facing slopes overlooking the Homestead garden and Pigeon Bay beyond. Two-way spanning, cantilevered timber roof forms a generous shelter for a multi purposed room, changing rooms and north facing terrace, overlooking a swimming pool and tennis court.
The roof pitch follows the existing ground line. The orientation of the building is optimized for sun, views and the existing site’s topography.
