A charming timber Cricket Pavilion designed to enhance community engagement, featuring a versatile layout with sliding doors, a kitchenette, and a wood burner, all set on a rise for optimal viewing and social interaction.

The brief called for an engaging building that playfully referenced the nationally iconic game and was informed by the idea of the ‘drinks break’. The long, singular form presents two distinct team spaces, connected by a deep covered veranda.

This humble timber structure designed to charm visitors with a hint of sporting sentiment, serves as a space for the clients to share with friends and the local community, without encroaching on the privacy of their family home. Depending on the weather and the needs of its users, sliding doors can transform the internal plan, from an open space to an intimate gathering. With its kitchenette and wood burner, the building provides shade and warmth to enjoy the game throughout the seasons. Its siting on a rise creates a natural amphitheatre and vantage point that allows for larger spectator groups.

Professional Reviews

“One of the most important things we were looking for when it came time to build our new home was the builder we would be working with. We needed someone who we could rely upon, communicate easily with, who would adopt and share our vision, adapt to what we wanted and deliver our home to a high standard. We were fortunate to find all these qualities in Steve Ross and SJR Builders. Steve was involved in the project from the very early planning stages and with his extensive experience and knowledge was able to provide valued insight into how we could achieve what we wanted. During construction there were times when we would make changes and these were always accommodated. Conversation was always easy and open and we always felt that Steve had everything about the build under control. The outcome was positive – we have a perfect family home that is well built and will stand the test of time. I would not hesitate to build with Steve and SJR Builders in the future.”
