susie's pavilion

project description


Status: Built
Program: Multi-purpose garden pavilion
Location: Mornington Penninsula, Victoria

This small garden pavilion is designed to grow up with two young children. Sited near a 1970's beach house on a large property in Victoria's Mornington Peninsula, it features a slide and a staircase/bandstand for family performances facing the house and in view of parents. Underneath is a small interior used as a playhouse or art room that can be opened up onto a deck underneath the canopy of a huge pine and facing views down the valley. This space can be used for parties when the children are grown.
It is multi-functional both in terms of its' use and reading; appearing simultaneously as a sculpture in the landscape and a building.
