Manta Pavilion
After years of designing projects to my clients’ instructions, I was drawn to the idea of what was possible if I had a completely open brief with no budget or planning constraints.
I wanted to create something special, an object of desire and over the past five years I have been developing Manta Pavilion.
Inspired in style and shape by the magnificent manta ray, Manta Pavilion is a work of art, a sculpture for your landscape, a building to enjoy. Whether you choose to use it as a studio, pool house, office, gym or as a retreat from the world, Manta Pavilion is the perfect sanctuary to accommodate your lifestyle, to give you, your family and your friends a totally unique experience.
Manta Pavilion has been designed without limits. It is bold and beautiful, and can be delivered anywhere in the world, custom built and finished in the materials chosen to suit your location and your personal preferences.
Manta Pavilion rotates 300 degrees to offer you the best view of all four seasons, whatever the time of day. Direct Manta’s curved glass doors towards the early morning sun for breakfast, the swimming pool during the day or towards the horizon for sundowners; you’re in control of your outlook.

Volant Pavilion
Following on from the conceptual freedom I explored when developing the Manta Pavilion, I felt a new challenge emerge: to take that same "no-limits" philosophy and ground it in a different kind of sculptural architecture.
If Manta is about the curved grace of the sea, the past few years have seen me developing Volant Pavilion as a study of the soaring grace of the air. It is refined joinery at its absolute best.
The defining characteristic of Volant is its beautifully crafted canopy. The structure features a sophisticated linear geometry that draws the eye toward its corners, where the roof swoops upward to form stunning, precise points. From the refined wood cladding to the expansive, uninterrupted glass façade, Volant is more than a building; it is a permanent sculpture that interacts dramatically with the shifting light and shadow of its environment.
Inside, Volant Pavilion is a pure, flexible sanctuary designed to elevate your environment. It can easily accommodate your specific lifestyle requirements, whether you see it as a luxurious pool room with a sauna, a dedicated yoga or art retreat, or a clean, modern home office. Every interior detail is custom-finished to ensure a totally unique and deeply personal experience.
Volant Pavilion, like Manta, has been designed without compromise. It can be delivered custom-built anywhere in the world and finished in materials precisely chosen to complement your specific landscape. Direct Volant’s glass façade toward your view, and allow its dramatic canopy to frame the sunset. Whatever your choice, you are in control of a perfect, uncompromising outlook.
