The house’s unique design fits into the rural landscape. The house has a cantilevered structure and a soaring angular volume. The interior design is with a double-height space that opens out towards the view. The kitchen wall is with textured formwork and the stone island bench complements the white kitchen cabinetry. The home won the Regional Award for Resene Colour in Design at the Waikato and Bay of Plenty Architectural Design Awards 2023.
