Architecture

A small freestanding structure at the end of an existing garden — one room, four openings and a deep overhanging roof.

A single-room pavilion used for work and for gathering. The roof oversails on all four sides so the space can stay open through most of the year, and the walls are little more than the frame between the openings.

Design intent

The idea the project is built on.

At this scale everything is a detail. The roof edge does most of the work.

Repeating white arches receding along a daylit corridor above a broad flight of steps

Spatial planning

How the plan is arranged.

One room, sited at the far corner of the garden so the walk to it is part of the point.

Interior

Inside the building.

A plain lime-washed interior, deliberately unfurnished beyond what the room needs.

Materials

What it is made of.

Blackened steel
Frame
Lime wash
Walls
Clay tile
Roof

Construction

A steel frame with masonry infill, which kept the corners open and the roof edge thin.

Outcome

The most-used room on the property.

Modern house of layered dark and timber volumes set behind a mature tree
