Stretched across a long flat hill site with 180 degree views of the ocean, from Sumner Bay to the Alps.
Sowerby has been designed with the requirement to maximise views from every space, shelter from the prevailing winds and protect from overheating.
With a nod to the mid century. Expansive eave overhangs and a clean vertical rhythm draw this elongated form across the narrow site, taking in sea views over Pegasus bay, towards Kaikoura and connecting to the Alps.
