John's House Pavilion

Location
Gisborne/Hawkes Bay

This single bedroom, self-contained retreat is deliberately sited in direct conversation with an adjacent John Scott dwelling. Rather than imitating that house’s complex geometry it uses simplicity of form and subtle references to its neighbour. Most striking is the large extended roof which is both folded and highlighted in a yellow triangulated soffit referencing the red ceilings of the existing house. This pavilion is a perfect space for reviving the soul and is reminiscent of the inflected panel paintings of James Ross.
