AI summary
The award-winning Courtyard House in Pt Chevalier, designed by architect Guy Tarrant, is on the market. This landmark home won the prestigious NZIA Supreme Sir Ian Athfield Award in 2017.
Built on a unique rhomboid section, its "walled garden" design creates a private sanctuary with a central pool. The single-level, three-bedroom home is filled with natural light and offers a tranquil, resort-like feel.
Ideal for couples, downsizers, or families, this is a rare opportunity as the owners plan their next project.
Light is very important in this home.
Inside, the home is relaxing, and welcoming.
All the rooms in the house look onto the central courtyard and the swimming pool.
The home wraps around the site, and pushes into a tricky corner, maximizing space left for the courtyard.
A curved wall in the corner of the dining room, takes in the shape of the site.
The gardens are mostly outside, a gift to passers-by that softens the brick.
Friends tell Millar the home has a resort feel.
