LONG PAVILION

Grand Designs Australia Magazine House of the Year shortlisted finalist - October 2025

A series of modern open plan spaces have been formed with the cascading grandstand and oval, a dynamic linking element. The flexible public spaces allow for a multitude of arrangements with large openings providing seamless connections from the indoors to outdoors, inviting the expansive views and the eucalypts into all the public areas. The dynamic polycarbonate screen panels provide privacy whilst bringing reflectivity, light, colour and texture into their adjacent spaces.

The harmonious balance between nature and architecture comes together in the Long Pavilion, the house’s focal point. Cool breezes flow through an expansive open framework of timber and polished concrete, creating a romantic mood for relaxing and dining. Eyes are drawn to the surrounding forest oval and grandstand edging the room's length. Filtered light from the skylights and battened screens demarcate the separate bedroom wings.

We’re thrilled to share that Long Pavilion has taken out Regional Project of the Year at the 2025 Darling Downs and West Moreton Regional Architecture Awards, hosted by the Australian Institute of Architects.

Inspired by the rural Australian shed and the classic sports pavilion, Long Pavilion reimagines these iconic forms into a stunning modern family home. It also received a Commendation in the Residential Architecture – Houses (New) category.

“The client’s love of sport and entertaining is prioritised through views to the oval from the home’s public spaces,” noted the jury. They praised the project’s “climate-responsive design” and use of materials to adapt to Toowoomba’s temperate weather conditions.”
