THE CHALLENGE

The very steep section West facing, with a large retaining wall cutting part of the section to the lower end did challenge the design...

My clients wanted privacy and a design that would blend with the surroundings, making the most out of the Northern light. A split level house would suit this section best.

The layout is "new age modern" adapted to the need of our client, who runs her flower business from the road, as well as having an air b n b to the side. "It has to be as low maintenance as possible and Colorsteel is the way to go"

Even though this modern home has a small footprint, it offers two multi-use room, 3 bedroom as well as a mezzanine and open plan kitchen living with high ceilings, but also private courtyards and outdoor nooks. Bringing nature into the landscaping is very important for Campbell and Lorraine.

All the rooms have a view on the water, mountain or nature and the section has access to a small track that leads onto a jetty where you can launch your paddle board from.

A very dreamy inspiring spot Rangitahi offered for my clients and so pleased with how it all turned out!

“Alice was great to work with, has a good eye for detail and great ideas. We had a relatively small area where we could maximise our views and the placement and design or our house is awesome. We regularly recommend Rubix Architecture and will continue to do so!”
