Atawhai House banner

This house was designed in a long low form to not stand out on the hill and take advantage of the spectacular views. Outdoor living areas are accessible on both sides of the house creating a seamless Indoor-Outdoor Living Experience. Cedar cladding is stained a subtle ash colour & the interior details mimic the architecture of the exterior.
