With not one, but two impressive pavilion structures, this home is twice as nice. It’s clad in black standing-seam metal sheeting and features cedar battens on the soffits to highlight the soaring rooflines, an effect that continues inside with striking cedar panels on the ceiling. Entry to the 204sqm house is through the low-profile connection between the two structures. On one side is the garage, laundry and main bedroom suite, which opens onto the deck. On the other side are three more bedrooms, a family bathroom with unique feature brickwork and separate toilet, and the kitchen-living-dining area beyond. Corner sliding doors open the living space up to seamless viewing opportunities, with a glass balustrade providing a safety barrier. Clerestory windows follow the roof pitch, while yet more sliding doors open out to the deck. Graduating deck levels and outdoor zones allow easy access to the container pool and barbecue area where there’s a smoker and firepit. Every detail of this home, and every member of the family, has been carefully considered: under a window seat in the entry is a mini archway leading to a pet door, so even the owners’ pets can enter in style. Purr-fection.
