Blending with its surroundings, this modest dwelling is the perfect retreat.
The home enjoys views across theWairarapa Plains.
A modest footprint of 75sqm keeps the dwelling compact, with two loft areas extending the usable space. At the heart of the home is the kitchen.
Capturing the view of Lake Wairarapa and the Wairarapa Plains from multiple vantage points, the glazing has also been expertly placed to manage heat loss and heat gains. 
The natural palette continues in the bathroom.
Colorsteel’s FlaxPod was a natural colour choice for the exterior.
A covered deck extends the living area.
