In designing a contemporary renovation and extension of an original Brisbane Queenslander, Cavill Architects have created a home that is enveloped in the environment. Gibbon St (as the project is known) is intimately connected with its landscape – both natural and architectural – and was nominated for the Habitus House of the Year in 2018.

Set between the forest and the ocean, Te Arai Beach House manifests as a contemporary cabin in the woods. But what appears to be a defined, unambiguous form is revealed to be more complex.

Set within a terraced garden, a new pavilion adjoins a 1930s home in the leafy Melbourne suburb of Malvern. Glazed on two sides and supporting a loose rooftop garden that spills over its edges, the pavilion exemplifies Taylor Knights Architects’ approach to the landscape as the element of connection that binds old and new. The project consists of three key elements – the original home, the new addition, and the landscape, which was created with Ben Scott Garden Design.
