Kashiwa
This beautiful house elegantly brings together Asian and New Zealand elements to create a restful retreat suitable for both living and working. The building masterfully combines a variety of timber elements, including macrocarpa framing, hoop pine plywood, oak flooring, purpleheart round posts and cedar cladding. Carefully planned to suit the site, the home’s main accommodation is a linear form along a significant contour, with the bedroom wing separating the entry forecourt from a tranquil north-facing courtyard. Generous verandas run around the main facades, connecting and sheltering the transition and inviting inhabitation.
