The central pavilion, with its raised ceilings, houses the open-plan living, dining, and kitchen areas, emphasising the sense of space and accentuating the stunning views.Large windows on the north and west-facing sides bring in natural light and create a seamless connection with the outdoor spaces, while sliding doors on both sides of the living space ensure optimal air flow during the hotter months.On the west side, a large covered courtyard sits between the central pavilion and the guest pavilion, providing shelter from prevailing easterly winds. A simple material palette blends the home with its natural surroundings, utilising schist for external cladding of the central pavilion.Inside, a warm farmhouse aesthetic is achieved with timber-lined walls and hardwood floors, complementing the owners' furniture selections.The TIDA judges felt that the overall design balances timeless aesthetics with modern functionality, creating a home that not only respects the past but is also built to be enjoyed for generations to come.
