A new house, not far from Castlemaine was designed and built as a series of pavilions, facing north and linked together with verandahs and pergolas. In the almost fully glazed conservatory adjoining the master bedroom, the owners managed to grow pineapples!

The heart of this house is an enclosed Japanese courtyard garden designed to be viewed from each of the 12 rooms.

Featuring a  pool, a bridge, fragrant plants and the sound of falling water, the central garden transforms the mood of the

house as it changes with the time of day and the seasons.
