The Wirra Willa Pavilion is a Miesian inspired glass pavilion situated in a vibrant and fertile, rural landscape setting.
The project recently received a Commendation Award in the Small Projects category at the Australian Institute of Architects (NSW Chapter) 2014 Awards.
The brief was to create a space that allowed the user to fully experience and connect with the inherent beauty of the landscape.
The pavilion cantilevers over the natural spring fed dam to position the inhabitant within a sublime environment that is pulsing with an abundance of life and natural beauty.
Simplicity is essential to the success of the project. The driving conceptual approach was to maintain simplicity through each stage of the design in order to create an elegant, unobtrusive incision into the landscape setting that allows for both prospect and refuge.
The site selection and orientation was critical to capture the sun, respond to prevailing winds, and frame unique vistas experienced throughout the property.
In the warmer summer months the sliding glass panels can open up to encourage natural cross ventilation from the prevailing breezes, while in the cool of the winter, thermal mass of materials conducts heat from the sun to make for a relatively constant internal climate.
It is a special place that one can escape to find peace and solitude.
