Neighbouring the owners’ main house, this compact pavilion is a smart multipurpose space with an inventive use of garage doors.

A 1960s-inspired Pedrali patio chair attends the outdoor table in the paved courtyard that links the two houses. Two butterfly chairs are positioned outside the studio at the rear. An outdoor fireplace warms the terrace in winter and the pergola provides shade in summer. Completely separate from the main house, the new dwelling is self-contained with its own kitchen, fireplace and barbeque. Timber chairs surround the client’s vintage Knoll ‘Tulip’ table by Eero Saarinen. A vintage pendant light bought at auction hangs above. 6pm Mount Pleasant by Clara Adolphs sits on the kitchen shelving. On the vintage cabinet, the three artworks are (from left) Burnt Banksia by Laura Jones, Dash by Martine Emdur and an unknown vintage piece.
