A highly crafted, one‑off timber pavilion sited deep in rainforest — clearly a bespoke house designed around its landscape with strong indoor/outdoor living, oversized awning windows and substantial hand-hewn posts. Not historically significant, but architecturally notable for its site-specific tropical vernacular, excellent joinery and high level of craftsmanship rather than for period heritage or estate-style repetition.
