Panoramic House
A residential pavilion featuring exposed timber ceiling joists and integrated shelving that seamlessly extends to an outdoor stone patio through frameless sliding glass corners.
- What we like about this project
- The highly polished mirrored roof soffit reflects the ground and sky, dematerializing the structural overhang.

- Geometry
- Rectangular volume with deep exposed timber beams and an integrated grid shelving wall framing a large glazed corner opening onto a stone patio.
- Facade system
- Full-height sliding glass doors with floor and ceiling tracks, paired with vertical timber batten cladding on the solid wall.
- Structural guess
- Post-and-beam timber structure with floor-to-ceiling glass openings.
- Spatial scale
- Single-story residential pavilion scale with comfortable human proportions.
- Lighting
- Diffused overcast daylight illuminates the interior uniformly, supplemented by a highly reflective mirrored soffit framing the roof overhang.
- Atmosphere
- Calm, warm, and tightly integrated with the surrounding green landscape.
- Environmental context
- Suburban garden setting with mature trees and a timber fence bounding the patio.
- Spatial experience
- The interior flows seamlessly outward onto a flush exterior stone terrace, framing landscape views through sliding glass.
- Composition rhythm
- Vertical wood slats on the exterior facade transition into the steady structural spacing of interior ceiling beams and shelving units.
