This project is the second commission by the designer for these clients. As with the previous 2013 project the desire was for an interpretation of mid-century modernism that works and responds to present day New Zealand living and environmental factors. The concept was to embrace the client’s passion for mid-century eclecticism. In designing this house, the form and proportions were inspired from the modernist architecture of Palms Springs, CA, USA. In developing the concept with the client texture, material and form were front of mind when resolving the spatial considerations. The interior needed to complement their collection of period furniture, fixtures and fittings yet maintain a level of detail and excitement that would ensure it was beautiful in its own right.
Providing 3 bedrooms, a large garage and opening plan living the single level plan has been carefully developed to suit the client’s needs as they move towards retirement. Deliberately open plan yet with clear allocation of space contributes to a bright and spacious environment. Guest bedrooms are generous in size, ample storage is provided and the main bathroom is well appointed with quality fixtures, finishes and fittings.
Relationship to the outdoors and the views were a paramount design consideration. Sight lines and framing of the vistas required careful consideration to achieve the desired result. The use of large sliding doors out to the deck helped blur the distinction between indoors and out achieving a sense of greater space and light.
The front door opens to the main hall with its central raised roof void which allow lights to penetrate deep into the building regardless of the time of day. This provides a sense of space and airiness beyond the buildings physical proportions. With the site having a north-south axis the plan form features recesses to provide sun and light to enter the key spaces whilst at the same time providing generous outdoor living spaces all with level transitions blurring the line between indoors and out.
The Te Kuiti limestone cladding enters the home as a series of solid seamless walls continuous as forms from the exterior to the interior culminating with the dynamic and bold chimney to the open fire. Floor finishes take the form of oak plank flooring and wool carpet in a neutral earthy tone. The oak theme in the form of sustainable Tasmanian Oak continues with the kitchen cabinetry, office joinery, master bedroom custom ward-robe joinery and bedroom wall paneling. The kitchen is spacious with a direct relationship to the outdoor patio. High level windows provide light whilst maintaining privacy. Mosaic brass tiles provide a strong lineal and textural element as the bench-top splash wall. The office takes the form of a cupboard with a large cavity slider allowing it to open up to the dining room. To complete the package quality lighting has been used featuring classic sixties pendants in the living areas.
