This Waikato home is built on a very tight and challenging site and maximises the location and views over the Waikato River, and the hills beyond. The owner wanted a modern home, one that acknowledged the peace and quiet of the site and the lone Kauri Tree.
The elevated site is private, has 360-degree views of the mountains and native bush, and overlooks the Waikato River. The cantilevered lounge projects above the tree canopy and maximises the panoramic view. The exterior is a contrast of dark steel and band-sawn redwood cedar. Celcrete cladding on the lower level creates an extra textural contrast. The three-bedroom home features hand-crafted cabinetry with the kitchen and scullery designed for contemporary living and entertaining.
