Brief and response

Brief

Shelter the poolside lounge without blocking the outlook or making the deck feel heavy.

Response

The build combines aluminium framing with steel beams for the main structure, then finishes the underside with timber sarking. Skillion insulation sits above the lining, with downlights and warm LED strip lighting integrated around the ceiling edges.

Technical details

Structure & finish

The pavilion uses a combination of aluminium and steel beams for strength and clean spans. The black frame gives the roof a crisp outline, while the timber sarking adds warmth and texture to the ceiling.
