Perched atop the ridgeline over the Waimea Inlet, this entertainer’s residence enjoys all day sun and panoramic views.
The brief of this job was to design a house with maximum views whilst incorporating elements of privacy for the owners, and incorporate natural timber features into the cladding and interior.
Key features of this house include a lap pool and extensive louvred outdoor area with its own kitchen and fireplace. Cedar cladding adorns the exterior of this house, providing a natural look. Extensive double-glazed joinery allows indoor-outdoor flow of movement and light to create an open ambience, with high ceilings in the living area supporting the feeling of openness.
