00:00One of the wonderful aspects about this site is the constraints about how you designed
00:09on it.
00:10And a lot of architects are more than delighted to have constraints.
00:15It's much easier to deal with that than if you have a totally open set of opportunities.
00:23So with the existing trees that all had to be kept, the creek that we couldn't build
00:29near, the only aspect, any area of the site, although it's a thousand square metres, was
00:36right down the very bottom.
00:38And that had been cleared by Sydney Water when they put the board sewer through a couple
00:43of years before I purchased the site.
00:45And that became the only obvious spot to build.
00:49And so having that enforced upon me, you then had to deal with the actual sewer itself.
00:57And that's what led to the two pavilion options where the sewer runs under the deck in between
01:03the two wings.
01:04And that suited me fine because it's mostly only my partner and I who were down here.
01:12the westernmost wing, the two-storey wing, became our enclave and then the second part
01:19on the other side of the sewer became an area appropriate for children and guests.
01:24So the design in essence emanated from having a sewer run through the middle of the site.
01:32But it worked out really well and I'm happy with the project.
01:41Thank you very much.
01:42Thank you very much.
