A thoughtfully designed 80m2 home that maximizes space and comfort, featuring a rectangular form with carved niches for privacy and shelter, clad in a blend of burnt and natural Larch timber, and oriented to showcase the stunning Kaikoura ranges.

This home challenges the ideals of larger house living and proves that with good design, volume and spatial layout 80m2 of space can feel generous and comfortable to live in. The form is essentially a rectangle with carved out niches that provide sense of address, privacy and shelter. 

Aligned to face the Kaikoura ranges, clad in a combination of burnt and natural Larch timber. This house is high performance and cost effectiveness rolled into one.

“Aaron and Anne at Urbanfunction were a pleasure to deal with. They listened carefully to our brief and our ideas and produced a design well beyond our expectations. They were flexible, accommodating and extremely practical with their approach and we would recommend them to anyone considering a new build.”
