Dominey Pavilion

The Dominey Pavilion consists of a carport, driveway, exterior deck, outdoor living room, and garden. It was designed and built for Todd Dominey while at Lightroom. It has won two national honor awards; the AIA National Small Projects Practitioners Honor Award, the Custom Home Magazine Award. Central to the pavilion is a fireplace with seating, forming a living room that’s open on three sides.



The clients are proponents of the Case Study House program of the 1940s and like the work of Alvar Aalto, Richard Neutra, and Donald Judd, thus influencing the design.

The project blurs the boundaries between Minimalist Sculpture, Architecture, and Landscape through features like the outdoor fireplace and the planar language that defines the outdoor rooms.

Materials: Georgia 4-inch tongue and groove cypress, hard coat stucco with galvanized bead edges, recycled concrete blocks, porous concrete slabs (to allows for root growth and water penetration, 4-inch recessed halogen lighting.
