Project
Alteration and addition to an existing house on an equestrian farm/property
Size
Floor Area: 295m2 = 160m2 (existing) + 135m2 (addition)
Overview
New pavilion addition and alterations providing new kitchen/dining/living spaces and parents’ bedroom zone to an existing farmhouse. The new low pavilion considers the dominant roof form of the original house, its surrounding verandah and the rhythm of its supporting columns. A lower glazed entry connects and separates the two distinct yet related buildings and assists in providing the family members with their own spaces for privacy. Considered as an enclosed verandah for experiencing the landscape, the addition is also seen as the culmination of the driveway journey into the property: The building acts as wall to initially conceal the main landscape features and areas before finally revealing upon entry into the building.
