PART C :: APPLICATION THROUGH CABIN DESIGN - TK CABIN

Despite its compact, minimalist design, TK Cabin heightens the awareness one has with the immediate landscape.

Entering from a narrow passage behind the cabin, visitors must step up and 'manoeuvre' through overlaid walls. On oneside a standard height facade, on the other a double height external wall. A rush of air compels a quicker pace and as you step out from this corridor a calm and expansive space explodes before you, permeating the entire lateral section of the building. A vast roof floating overhead is thrust over the pavillion decking. While glass bi-fold doors are spread apart to reveal dining and work areas with light streamming in through the glazed panels on their front facade. A subtle staircase tucked to oneside - unassuming and mysterious disappears up behind the building, willing a journey yet cautioning privacy. Moving along the timber decking the space spills out into the landscape, the transition is almost unnoticable, as if by the time you reach the waters edge you failed to realise you'd even left the dwelling. Beyond the lake mountain peaks stretch across the horizon and yet standing on the pavillion a cool breeze rolls though, carrying with it the faint scent of palm and jacarranda.
