AI summary
This unique architectural home in Pōhara, Golden Bay, features a striking Pioneer Red Colorsteel exterior that contrasts with the lush bush setting. Designed by Trevor Henderson Architects, the property incorporates natural limestone boulders into its glazed entryway.
The three-bedroom house includes:
- A 15m inground pool
- Sustainable features like rainwater storage and solar hot water
- An extra-height garage with a workshop
With floor-to-ceiling windows maximising light, this distinctive property offers privacy and seamless indoor-outdoor living.
The other key feature of this site in Golden Bay is the Takaka limestone, which has been incorporated into the house.
Stairs at the entry climb around large limestone boulders, enhancing the sense of arrival.
Trevor Henderson Architects worked with the landscape, not against it.
This is one of two living areas - all the rooms feature extensive glazing.
Timber floors feature in some areas of the house.
Limestone boulders are even a feature of the pool.
Tucked away among the trees, the house has proved the perfect retreat for the Campbell family - they are only selling to be closer to an international airport so they visit children and grandchildren in Australia more easily.
