"The newly built pavilion houses the main living areas and master bedroom within a lightweight steel frame, while service zones are enclosed in precast concrete panels, complementing the texture and solidity of the original stone structure."
"The pavilion incorporates a natural ventilation strategy that draws in cool prevailing breezes to regulate the indoor climate, while its roof collects rainwater for household use."
"Raw and industrial in expression, the new addition is designed as a durable architectural response to the extremes of the Australian environment, ensuring longevity while remaining closely tied to the heritage character."
Monaro Plateau Homestead features a contemporary extension to a late 19th-century stone cottage, integrating restoration with new construction. The design includes a lightweight steel pavilion housing main living areas and a master bedroom, while children's and guest bedrooms are in the restored cottage. Large sliding glass doors connect the two structures, enhancing the connection to the landscape. The pavilion employs natural ventilation, rainwater collection, and a wastewater treatment system, promoting sustainability and durability in the Australian environment.
