Ngāhere Hou is a covenanted property at the head of Kenepuru Sounds in the Marlborough Sounds. 

The client called for a two bedroom house plus separate guest room with bathroom, off the grid, taking in the views to the head of the Sound and West along Kenepuru to Pelorous Sound. They liked caves to soften the space they lived in.

The design response addresses the challenges and cost of building over 2.5 hours each way to Blenheim.

About the
Professional

Tennent Brown is concerned with people, how our buildings and environments will affect their experience. We design to uplift the quality of life, of work, play and wellbeing of those the buildings serve. Architecture is built around people, and every design is an individual's or organisation’s story: their hopes and aspirations for a building that is their own.

People entrust us with realising some expression of themselves, to translate that into built form. We take that seriously. Ours is an architecture of listening and understanding: a humanist architecture.
