The placement of the garden at the centre of the site is integral to the success of this extension to a Sydney home. By shifting the focus onto the outdoor spaces, the architect has transformed the house into an inner-city garden oasis.
Instead of extending directly from the original late-Victorian house, an autonomous “garden room” has been placed at the western edge of the site, bookending the garden to create a contained courtyard. The floor and ceiling planes, rather than the walls, define the interior of the pavilion. This creates a harmonious connection between this space and the loosely structured garden.
