Designed by Gianni Botsford Architects, this award-winning copper-clad pavilion, tucked away in the back garden of a grand 1840s villa, is a truly unique project. It involved demolishing a dilapidated 1960s bungalow and replacing it with a predominantly subterranean house.
Above ground, the design features a sleek, single-story structure, while below, two basement levels are surrounded by gardens, light wells, and skylights that flood the interior with natural light. Despite being enclosed by neighbouring houses on three sides, the home expertly captures and distributes varying intensities of light, mirroring the rhythms of daily life.
