Designed by Don Nelson to take advantage of the rural views and the sun, this family home has also been designed to cater to the needs of the whole family. It incorporates a parents’ retreat, a children’s wing with a central children’s lounge area, and self-contained guest quarters. All rooms on the ground floor have doors opening to a landscaped outdoor pool area.

On the top floor, the master bedroom opens to an intimate balcony. Special features of the open-plan living area include square columns that help define the different spaces, a high ceiling, and polished concrete floors. An open-plan layout provides a seamless flow between living areas..

Bifold doors and decorative wrought-iron gates open to an attractive pool-side entertainment pavilion, with a tennis court beyond.

About the
Professional

Don Nelson believes in the potential of architecture to enrich the lives of those it touches. For over 30 years we have influenced new home and renovation design throughout New Zealand and in Queensland, Australia.

We are committed to integrating rigorous design processes with the unique needs of each client, to produce architectural designs of distinction. Good architecture uplifts the human spirit. Good architecture communicates modesty and clarity of purpose. Good architecture demonstrates honesty and integrity with materials and forms. Our architectural optimism is most clearly embodied in the attention to detail apparent in all of our designs. Don Nelson’s philosophy is to create architecture to inspire the soul.

A truly stunning home needs a design that is more than just pleasing to the eye. Ideally it will reflect your personality, family, location and lifestyle. Your home will include areas for interacting and yet remain private. It will take advantage of your location, but not dominate the space.

For over 30 years Don Nelson Architecture has been designing homes with lasting appeal.
