Seatoun House II

NZIA Local Award 2006

“…this elegant home continues its restraint inside…..A beautiful home that is a successful stage for the family”. NZIA Awards Jury, 2006

This four bedroom family home was designed for both family life and entertaining. It also features a commercial kitchen for the clients catering business. Reception spaces – including kitchen, family, and dining facilities - are open plan, with a separable lounge area and sunny, sheltered outdoor living spaces.

Features include the lofty dining room, warm – even cosy - lounge, dramatic main bedroom and deep interlock between interior and exterior space. Layering of flat roof planes to allow clerestories and high level glazing has allowed Exceptional transparency (and effective passive solar heating) without loss of a sense of robust shelter.

An excellent setting for entertaining has been created without sacrificing the ability of the dwelling to function as a private family home.
