An attractive high quality garden pavilion

To maximise the relationship between internal and external spaces large expanses of glass to glass corner glazing gives unimpeded views of the landscape and provides easy access into the garden with large sliding doors onto the deck platform.

The design intent was for a low key, high quality, contemporary building that sits lightly in this natural rural setting, with the effect that the building appears to float above the ground. The extent of glazing emphasises the lightweight nature of the building structure.

The pavilion incorporates a sedum roof adding to the buildings sustainability credentials.
