Pavilion Style Beach House

<a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.realestate.com.au"></a><br />I'm still in the planning stages for our new house design, and one style I keep coming back to over and over is a series of pavilions. It makes perfect sense for our climate - hot, humid summers, and mild winters. We have the space, and I'd love to wrap the house around the pool, so when I saw this house in Noosa, it ticked all the boxes.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: auto;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;
