Sitting softly in the landscape, this home is designed to seamlessly blend with its surroundings. Perched on a plateau with 270-degree views, it looks towards Tamata Peak, southeast of the beautiful Tukatuki River. The form of the house is crafted to fit its natural setting, capturing the essence of a modern interpretation of a traditional home.
The interior reflects a blend of classic and contemporary design elements. Herringbone flooring, finished in a custom colour, flows throughout the space, adding warmth and a sense of continuity. High skirting boards line the walls, drawing the eye upward to the intricate details of coffered ceilings, which add a layer of depth and elegance to the home.
A feature we love is the steel doors, both functional and stylish, create a subtle industrial contrast to the otherwise traditional elements. This choice reflects the client's desire for a home that respects tradition while embracing modernity. The client, an avid art collector, has thoughtfully curated an art gallery space within the home, ensuring that each piece is displayed to its fullest potential.
Central to the home is a high-spec kitchen, complete with a large entertainment island that serves as the heart of the living area. This space is not only for cooking but also for gathering, reflecting the client's vision of a home that balances functionality with aesthetics.
As the project nears completion, attention to detail remains incredibly important. From the custom finishes to the thoughtful placement of each design element, the home reflects the collaboration between the client and the design team. It is a space that honours its surroundings while offering a refined and personalized living experience.
