Project Description
New Build: Just Completed: Professional Photos coming soon
Flinders echoes the poetic notion of a courtyard house with living pavilions. Each Pavilion is articulated with its own form and roofline creating interest and moments of in-between as you journey from one pavilion to the next. The main living Pavilion is highlighted with a barn aesthetic with rich textural spotted gum scissor trusses and exposed cathedral pitch. The windows at each end of the gables allow sunlight to filter into the living and Kitchen spaces with the added gift of beautifully framing an ancient gum tree above the Kitchen Joinery. This is particularly striking in the late afternoon when the sunlight dapples across the surface of the floorboards and plasterboards with a dancing celebration of evening calm. The master pavilion is clad in Spotted Gum, an almost turned out expression of materiality from the Interior expression of timber in the Living pavilion. The living and master pavilions are separated by a breezeway which allows the physiological decompression of public to a private sanctuary. Designed with the requirements of entertainment and with the expectation of visiting guest staying for weekend retreats, the guest accommodation was separated from the Living area with an oversized slider that neatly disappears when the house is 'open'. The outdoor Kitchen is connected by a servery window allowing for further amenity. The outdoor Kitchen is further indulged with a traditional stone pizza oven which the owner labours over creating the most delicious feasts with flavours of the Mornington Peninsula complemented with local wines..
