A stunning country house featuring a three-zone design that harmonizes with the rural landscape, built with cedar and incorporating passive solar principles for year-round comfort.

The three-zone design of this stunning home ensures that the connection to the rural environment and nearby hills is consistent and captivating – both from inside the house and from the enclosed courtyard. The roof pitch references the hills and the house sits easily and naturally on the land.

Built of cedar, and incorporating a passive solar design with double glazing, super insulated walls and ceilings, and concrete floor slabs, the home captures heat from the sun to create a stable all year-round internal temperature of 18°C.

Professional Reviews

1 / 2

“For more than 15 years, the architect has made a contribution that goes well beyond a typical design engagement. Heritage preservation, the drafting of funding submissions and physical contributions to the internal preservation work were all part of a role that has resulted in an enhanced building preserved for future generations. This discreet structural upgrade retains the integrity of the original building. Carbon-fibre, inserted behind exceptional whakairo (carved wooden panels) helps bring the church up to code.”
