A big feature of the garden area is a well-established Totara tree that the pavilion celebrates wrapping around its trunk and with a floor to ceiling window.

The design intent was to soften the edge of the garden with transparency and extensive use of timber.

It is a functional building that suggest a sense of calm, achieved softening the simple shape with accurate detailing and transparency through the timber windows, the movable timber screen and the pergola.
