The Borrie’s home is rurally located in Papakaio, 21 km’s from Oamaru. It is carefully positioned on a rise overlooking the farm and out towards the Southern Alps. The single-level rectangular forms have a façade that combines Oamaru stone and red cedar panels, with additional elements of both the natural stone and timber in the form of columns and beams. 

Each of the spaces is of various size, depending on function and use, one common aspect throughout is that in every room, Oamaru stone is visible from a window.
