The concept was taken from the English style stone farmhouses where the design principals are simplistic and symmetrical. Large Hinuera stone cladding helps to retain the traditional character and to ground the structure to the landscape complementing the rural surrounds that this home overlooks.

The open plan living is both warm and welcoming and offers distinct assigned areas that are in keeping with the straight line exterior. The earthy neutral colours of the interior walls along with the white painted ceiling and beams give the illusion of depth to the room making it feel immense.

All in all the simplistic use of materials, appliances, fixtures and furnishings, even right down to the kitchen units, makes this home unique, one that stands out from others.

At pak design we love nothing more than to design stuff! By stuff we mean, houses, big ones and not so big ones, commercial buildings, large and small, cowsheds, renovations, nothing is too daunting, industrial buildings, detail drawings. in fact pretty much anything and everything – AND we are pretty damn good at it too.

In no way is the title “Senior” a reflection on Matt’s age, but totally all about his ability. Always working on a plan for a residential, commercial or industrial project, cowshed, silage pit, or additional detailing on a customer renovation project, Matt is more than usually found out the back of the office, sitting on his VERY uncomfortable chair (which he has formed quite an attachment to) with his earphones on, dancing on the inside (not on the outside thank goodness), and working exceptionally hard to meet very tight deadlines.

Matt would love the opportunity to meet you at your place to go over your requirements. Email him today,
