Herriot + Melhuish: Architecture |
SEATOUN HOUSE II, Resene NZIA Local Award 2006 A beautiful home that is a successful stage for the family. A 4-bedroom family home, suited to entertaining, and featuring an additional, commercial, kitchen. 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. |
