The East Coast of Tasmania is home to many natural wonders with its amazing coastline attracting tourists from all across the planet. It is here that you will find the innovative and eco-friendly Freycinet Lodge. A fabulous retreat that already had 60 cabins to greet guests, the latest set of additions designed by Liminal Architecture help bring guests closer to the shoreline and the natural magic of this unique destination. The Coastal Pavilions at Freycinet Lodge combine the charm of vernacular design with woodsy charm and a sense of openness that is unlike anything else. Each of the pavilions offers an inimitable holiday experience filled with relaxation and solitude.

It is the Freycinet National Park and its natural beauty that make the biggest statement here as Tasmanian oak and other natural timbers that have been locally sourced shape the pavilions. One sees an overload of wood both on the inside and outside with hammocks and similar serene outdoor spaces completing the holiday experience here. Structural plywood and other cost-effective additions ensure that the project has been complete of a tight budget while making sure that environmental damage is minimized.

An experiential highlight is the netted, hammock-like balustrades. Recognizing the desire to retain views that a standard balustrade would interrupt, the unique solution was devised providing a novel opportunity for relaxing and enjoying the incredible setting. Liminal’s investment in community and place generating design ensures the Coastal Pavilions are an immersive, sustainable, site-specific experience for guests

SO House

REVEALING THE EVIDENCE Confrontation with the reality of these ruins was always a confrontation seeped in memories. Memories
of a place where the raw matter it is constituted of – the rock, the valley and the mountain – shows evident expression, provoking a game of fine balance between place, matter, light and shadow. We found light that dripped down the stone walls defining spaces separated only by rows of stacked rock. In each fissure, in each wrinkle, a soft balance between light and shadow. Standing before this scenery, the exercise consisted in finding the most natural way to connect ruins and spaces, simultaneously defining future possibilities for links between the interior and the exterior. Where decisions were concerned, we chose to rehabilitate pre-existing volumes and introduce a new connecting element. The answer is given by the almost immediate decision to join together the pre-existing elements. This
gesture, deeply connected to the terrain along the pendente – connects the two sections facing west,
forming an exterior courtyard adorned with a centenary olive tree. This project builds a space that runs through the ruins, uniting them and revealing the obvious functional relationship between the house’s programmatic areas, simultaneously differentiating the possibilities for inhabiting the exterior space. It expresses its temporality through the antagonism of matter in its relationship with pre-existing elements.
