Kakariki View is a contemporary rural home designed to respond to its elevated site, with a strong focus on outlook, natural light, and a clear, functional layout. The build required careful management of changing site levels and precise structural coordination to achieve clean stepped forms and extended cantilevers. A high level of detailing was needed at roof edges, cladding junctions, and glazing interfaces to maintain a consistent, refined finish throughout. Performance requirements for thermal efficiency and weather tightness were also critical given the exposed site conditions. Strong forms, simple materials, and well-framed views create a practical yet refined residence that balances comfort, durability, and connection to the landscape.

“Four years on Zdena and I are still talking about the importance of the ease of mind and confidence in team when building. Sam Millar and his team were amazingly good to work with from the initial discussions to hand over of the keys. They involved us as much as we wanted to make the building a seamless and fun experience. The Quality of workmanship and attention to detail is 100% We can’t recommend them enough and enjoy our lovely house that they produced every day.”
