At The Oaks Luxury Farmstay, guest pods are set into the landscape, with sweeping curved timber sliding doors following the circular form of each pavilion and opening the interiors to expansive rural views.
The gentle radius softens the architecture and creates a more fluid connection between the rooms and the landscape beyond. From inside, the broad glazed openings bring in abundant natural light and allow the outlook to become an integral part of the space.
These were far from conventional sliding doors. Each pod required four curved door and window units, with custom curved tracks, glazing and timber joinery all needing to align precisely. Prototypes were built and tested to refine the mechanics before the final Spotted Gum units were manufactured.
The result is a striking piece of bespoke joinery that follows the architecture beautifully while framing the surrounding landscape.
