A series of floating concrete steps wind up a whole storey to enter between two tall concrete slabs that split the formal living and functional areas, such as the kitchen.The kitchen is really the hub of the house and a starting point for the floorplan – looking directly at the Orakei basin and the boatshed, and capturing the magnificent views out to the water. One of the key features was the garden lounge area that steps into the landscape, and opens up to the lawn and pool beyond.The entry to the lower-floor garage was concealed by using the same cladding as the house.The zinc ‘wings’ that form the eaves are a feature that has no reference to the rest of the house, but purely the architect’s dream Credit list Architect Jessop Architects Landscape architect Jared Lockhart Design Kitchen and bathroom designer Zomia Flooring Goodwood Flooring Builder/construction company Cheyne Construction & Developments Interior designer Zomia Kitchen manufacturer IQ Kitchens Awards Trends International Design Awards (TIDA) Homes – Highly Commended Designed by: Jessop Architects Story by: Trendsideas Photography by: John Williams 09 Jan, 2022 New Home New Zealand TIDA Homes Trendsideas Home kitchen bathroom commercial design Latest Post Light all around 29 Sep, 2024 An intuitive journey 29 Sep, 2024 Relaxed meets rustic by the sea 29 Sep, 2024 We know the Specialists Related Book More Books > New Homes We have got all the best ideas and advice to help you with your plans and ideas.
