This hilltop house is accessed via a long winding track offering complete privacy for the owners. The associated site presented itself as the perfect observation point to the inner Queen Charlotte Sound - a place to stop and rest.
Every detail is considered and every item has its place in this strong and well-proportioned form that takes inspiration from the existing home and its triple gable.
Forming part of the development syndicate for this project, Director Jorgen Andersen has created 17 unique apartments and a 22 carpark basement on a site formerly used as on grade parking.
Designed for a growing family on the site of an old vineyard, the clients wanted a house that took in the views over the vines to the hills beyond and provided a warm, modern solution for their family.
Designed for a builder client and his family, this rural house draws from the rural vernacular. Sitting powerfully on the site, the mass of this large house is managed and celebrated in an organised and purposeful linear manner, gable forms are clearly read and stitched together with strong flat roof plane.
Planned to embrace the sun and social street frontage, this family home opens to the north – blurring the interface between spaces and providing flexible year-round living.
