\"Pavilion<\/div>\n

London studio Neil Dusheiko Architects<\/a> has extended a home<\/a> in Kent<\/a>, creating a minimalist glazed garden pavilion sheltered by a large timber-lined roof.<\/span><\/p>\n

Named Pavilion Rest, the project extends a home originally built in the 1990s in the grounds of the Grade-II listed Pembroke Lodge, located within the Hildenborough Conservation Area in rural Kent.<\/p>\n

This context necessitated a sensitive approach, and rather than make extensive changes to the home’s existing layout, Neil Dusheiko Architects opted for a “single gesture of transformation,” in the form of a glazed pavilion that better connects the home to its garden.<\/p>\n

Informed by the minimal structures of California’s 1960s Case Study Houses, this glazed pavilion is topped by a timber-lined roof with a thick black fascia, which extends to become a garden canopy perched on slender steel columns.<\/p>\n

“Rather than dominate, the extension dissolves boundaries, bringing rhythm, warmth, and spatial generosity to what was a disjointed 1990s layout,” founder Neil Dusheiko told Dezeen.<\/p>\n

“The concept focused on a single gesture of transformation \u2013 resolving layout inefficiencies and supporting modern family life with simplicity, flexibility, and warmth.”<\/p>\n

“The new timber-lined pavilion acts as the social heart \u2013 an open, light-filled volume that anchors the layout and strengthens connection to the garden,” he added.<\/p>\n

The pavilion extends what was originally a living area at the southwestern corner of the home with a new single-storey living and dining area, set back from the front of the home to minimise its visual impact.<\/p>\n

Adjacent to this space, the existing kitchen has been extended into the former dining space via the removal of an internal wall, creating a unified, L-shaped living, dining and kitchen area accessible directly off the home’s main entrance hallway.<\/p>\n
