:For this home in rural Pokolbin in the Hunter Region of NSW, the client wanted a place where they could come and reconnect — with themselves, with friends, family and with nature. In practical terms, they also wanted a serene backdrop to frame the 360º vistas and an extensive art collection. Having worked on three homes with us previously, there was a clear and intuitive understanding of the personality, values and way of life the home should embody.
The Mid Century-inspired pavilion architecture evoked a theme of Form and Connection, which was carried through to the interior concept and translated through individual pieces and down to intricate details. First, we looked at how to create standalone forms within a space and what elements could feature as strong focal points. Then we looked closer at the finer details of those solid forms, including junction points, and explored options of how they could and should meet.
Special attention was given to the layered tactility of materials and how they connect with one another – the feeling underhand of oak panelling, unfilled travertine, stone, plaster, bronzed brass and linen that invites touch, connection and sensory pleasure. Whilst creating a sense of calm — ultimately the soft, light interior palette invites the eye to wander without distraction, enhancing the ease of visual movement from inside to outside.
