The Teppanyaki Pavilion embodies the dualities of modesty and boldness. Visually unassuming from the streetscape the floating roof structure provides shelter to a centred Teppanyaki BBQ and offering sun shading to the pool during summer through the middle of the day. Sculptural benches prompt resort like habits with careful attention to materiality and detail. Surrounding lush greenery of the suburb is framed by the structure creating tranquility, celebrating the essence of Forestville.
A simple brief brings the role of the architect to the forefront. Flair and careful details create a sense of enjoyment and exceed client expectations.
The minimalist form achieves the primary objectives of shade, shelter and defining space, while carefully respecting the relationship of built form to context.
Expertly crafted and well considered – from the spacing of battens for the perfect mix of sun and shade to elevating the platform to define space – creates the stage for exemplary hosting.
The new development is an attractive and functional extension of our dwelling and has enabled our family to maximise the use of the outdoor area of our property. It has provided us with more opportunities to entertain with our extended family and friends and provides us with additional space for dining and family time. The provision of cooling and heating enables out family to use the facility throughout the year.
