“The options are endless when you build from scratch, but Sally McGarry had a very specific home in mind when she and husband Matt built this sprawling pavilion in the Byron Bay Hinterland. ‘Our main intention was to capture the essence of my grandparents’ home, the Fenner House, a mid-century home designed by Robin Boyd and commissioned by my grandfather, Frank Fenner,’ Sally says. ‘As a child, I spent most afternoons there, climbing trees, picking fruit and making cubby houses in the shrubs and wisteria. The extensive use of glass, the connection to the garden and different functional zones were all memorable features to me, and we wanted to carry them through to the design of our house.’ “
