Project Morrinsville House
Location Morrinsville
Completed 2010
With views to the south and south east, this elevated, sloping site presented a design challenge to maximise both the views and solar gain from the north. Our response to this challenge was to design a long living area with glazing to three sides, at the south end of the house, capturing the sun while still overlooking the views to the Kaimais, Mt Te Aroha, and also over the town.
This three bedroom home, with theatre room and office, steps down the site and has expansive decks for outdoor living. High level windows provide light to the centre of the house and provide additional ventilation through the natural stack effect.
A mixture of materials used on the outside create interest and articulate the public and private spaces, and include locally obtained limestone.
