connection with landscape
Along the glazed wall a vertical timber screen is placed, reminiscent of a rough timber palisade, filtering light as
well as vision into the building and also used to direct the rainwater as it falls from the roof.
To either end, a further screen is overlayed to the building. The glass wall has obscure panels to address issues of privacy as
required. Where possible, clear glass allows connection with the
surrounding landscape.
Allowing water from the roof to fall to the ground removes the significant issue of leaf
fall blocking gutters and allowed the creation of a very fine edge to the roof. In contrast to the other buildings on the grounds, the large macrocarpa bargeboards are finished with a horizontal cut to emphasis the
horizontal and the floating nature of the roof.
