Morris Cove / Bates Masi + Architects
Briefly

The article discusses a guest house designed by architects for a family deeply connected to their site's unique environment. This structure consists of five discrete pavilions linked under a single roof, designed to enhance the natural beauty of a narrow peninsula while addressing ecological issues such as erosion and flood risk. Each pavilion serves a specific function and is centered around intimate gardens, which are integral to the overall hydrodynamic design of the site, allowing rainwater to nourish these green spaces rather than being channeled away. This thoughtful integration of design and nature emphasizes both aesthetics and sustainability.
The design integrates five pavilions around intimate courtyards, enhancing the experience and practical functionality of the guest house while respecting the landscape.
The design solutions focus on reducing erosion, mitigating flood risk, and improving water quality, demonstrating a commitment to environmental stewardship.
