Scarborough Béton Brut
The concrete structure emerges from the landscape in cubed forms.
Coloured in PeterFell's 699 SuperBlack oxide, the floor has thermal mass properties; when exposed to the afternoon sun, it acts as a heat store.
The north-west aspect of the building allows afternoon sun to enter the space.
The monochromatic colour palette allows the view to take centre stage.
The open-plan living space leads directly to the outdoor living space through floor-to-ceiling sliders.
The cedar slats draw the eye towards the outlook.
Contrasting with the concrete, the western red cedar brings visual warmth to the space.
In the evening, the view across the city below is just as stunning.
The home faces north-west with breathtaking views across the Pacific Ocean, returning along the Southern Alps over Christchurch city.
