Hinterland Pavilion

Nestled in the Gold Coast hinterland, this luxury residence embodies a sophisticated response to its subtropical setting through a pavilion design that celebrates the connection between architecture and landscape. The home's distinctive horizontal expression is defined by a floating, sculptural roof plane that provides deep protective overhangs while creating a sense of weightless elegance. This architectural gesture not only offers essential shade and shelter but frames expansive views of the surrounding natural environment.

The material palette harmoniously blends warm timber battens, natural stone, and crisp white concrete, creating a textural dialogue that feels both luxurious and grounded. Floor-to-ceiling glazing dissolves the boundary between interior and exterior, allowing the lush landscape to become an integral part of the living experience. The interiors feature rich, tactile elements—fluted timber detailing, herringbone timber floors, and subtle textural variations—that create visual interest while maintaining a calm, cohesive atmosphere. The seamless integration of the reflective pool with the pavilion's extended planes further enhances the sense of connection to place, creating a serene sanctuary that responds intuitively to the Gold Coast's climate while delivering a refined contemporary living experience.
