Brand-new materials dovetail with recycled timbers and fittings in this expansive home built over three levels. The finishes—wallpaper, cork tiles, wool carpets, and timber—were chosen to cohesively link with the owners’ furnishings and decor. Architectural sliders open up the living space to the west and north, leading to an outdoor room with a raking ceiling and Japanese cedar walls. This aspect of the home is reminiscent of mid-century design and frames all-encompassing vistas of the harbour, Mauao, and the Kaimai Range.
The 500sqm home cascades down a contoured site and includes a basement workshop, three bathrooms, an office, three living zones, and four bedrooms, including a luxurious main suite. Additional amenities include a laundry, double garage, motorhome garage, and a storeroom. A 4.8m island is the centerpiece of the sleek kitchen, which features granite benchtops and velvet-finish cabinets. On the exterior, rumble brick and Japanese cedar provide texture, while entrance pillars with coreten steel and redwood announce your arrival. Kwila decks off the main bedroom and formal dining area, rustic steps, and a raised planter masking a water tank are well-considered additions.
