Long Pavilion | Feather & Lawry Design

Long Pavilion is a striking architectural project featuring open-plan spaces that seamlessly connect indoors and outdoors. The design incorporates large flexible openings, inviting the surrounding countryside and towering eucalypts into every room. The pavilion juxtaposes rural materials with translucent polycarbonate panels, adding interest, light, and color to the spaces.

The form is deceptively simple yet impactful, creating a relaxed living environment with cool breezes flowing through expansive open areas. Filtered light from skylights and battened screens demarcate bedroom wings, while the central living spaces face a sports oval. The residence transforms into a social pavilion for weekend events, with terraces for spectators.

The design maximizes the rural environment’s value, integrating landscape elements and preserving mature eucalypts. It balances being a refuge from harsh conditions and inviting nature into all spaces. Fire regulations and budget constraints shaped the shed vernacular design, creating varied internal volumes and a legible spine connecting rooms.
