SJB have designed the renovation of a small pavilion style house that draws inspiration from Japanese architecture and natural materials.
The home, located in the Australian seaside town of Rye, is set up for indoor/outdoor living. At the front of the house, steps lead up to a small patio that leads directly into the living room through a large sliding glass door.
In the living room, a large ‘L’ shaped couch is focused on the fireplace and its black surround, while running along the wall is a bench that wraps around and becomes the stairs and the fireplace hearth.

Here’s a closer look at the steps that lead from the living room up to the dining room and kitchen.

In the kitchen, wood cabinetry is combined with black countertops which match the black dining set. Another sliding door at this end of the house opens up to an outdoor space.

Outside, there’s a deck with a BBQ and outdoor kitchen, while a pergola provides some shade for the alfresco dining area.

A sliding door located off the back deck leads to the bedroom. It provides plenty of natural light to the room that has grey and white walls with wood flooring.

The bedroom also has an ensuite bathroom with a small vanity and a walk-in shower.

The home also has a second bathroom that’s located off to the side of the dining room. A large floor-to-ceiling wood cabinet adds a natural touch to the space and ties in with the floating wood shelf under the vanity.
