: : Foothills House - Pokeno NZIA Resene Local Award Winner 2007

Tags:



Set on the slopes south of the Bombay Hills, this large country house anchors itself into the slope just below the crest.
The low-slung forms follow the natural land contour and deflect and protect against the strong south-westerly wind, providing sheltered courtyards and verandahs to the north.

The two elongated shed-like pavilions define the Living Areas from the Bedrooms with an internal garden courtyard linking the two.

Durable materials used in their “raw” state blend with the natural landscape. The base of the building is of natural stack bonded concrete block with a steel structured lightweight roof umbrella suspended over highly glazed walls.
