A ONE-OFF IN NEW ZEALAND. 

Glass & steel, inspired by Philip Johnson’s Glass House. Like the original, is discreetly hidden in private grounds with views of sea, dunes, islands & bordered by river. A two-acre garden is sheltered, edged by high hedges of totara, titoki & alders. Alleyways divide the grounds into spaces edged with buxus & lonicera. A pond with willow & flaxes brings herons, wild ducks & tui. A swimming pool under the shade of oaks will invite you for a dip on a hot summers night. 

Leaving the city to go north is never been as exciting for individuals seeking an exclusive hideaway. A combination of undeniable beauty, silence & privacy will be a source of pride. Sensuous natural warmth and a fire if needed will instantly gratify. If you have guests a detached spare bedroom & bathroom will suffice. 2-car garaging plus a cedar shed is ideal for a library or studio. 

DISTINCTIVELY DIFFERENT – WILL LIFT SPIRITS & STEAL YOUR HEART.

A MUST-SEE FOR THOSE SEEKING HARMONY, TRANQUILITY, PERFECTION & SUPERB CARFTMANSHIP NOT LIKELY TO BE REPEATED AGAIN IN NEW ZEALAND.
