House for Tabletop amplifies the experience of an existing garden and distant bushland. The Paul Bangay garden design uses a symmetrical, axial layout, offering retreat from the surrounding bush.
Traditionally a loggia, a covered edge space, sits between the protection of a homes interior and the wild exterior. We imagined the house itself as a loggia to the garden. The new house merges with the existing garden design, while also acting as its antithesis. Each garden room is designed around its own focal point, autonomous and independent of the setting. The house is outward looking without a central focal point, its spaces overlapping rather than self-contained.
The building becomes part of the garden. Its walls read as hedges, the ‘stairs’ as waterfalls, chandeliers as fountains, and artwork as flowering plants.
