House No.3

Causing quite a stir in the neighbourhood, pitching itself against the so called “urban planning” of bigger is better mentality. This house sits staunch amongst its neighbours.

A beautiful and strong cedar wall stretches wide across the road front, providing nothing to passers-by, other than a back drop to a lone Kauri Tree. Turning its back on the southern streetscape, this home is all about the internal space.

Purposely nothing is on show to the street. The single penetration to the cedar wall is positioned out of view adding to the mystique of what lies beyond.

All interior aspects are concentrated on the northern aspect of the site, providing direct access from all bedrooms and living spaces.
