This proposed 90 square meter Wellington home, sits tall and long on a narrow site - previously occupied by a single garage.

Sunlight is pulled from above into the middle of the home, to create a light, welcoming and generous sense of entrance, while acting as a marker in the plan, dividing the spatial programme.

While simple in form, the home draws on its surroundings, connecting with its environment at both levels - the ground floor bedroom opens out onto a sheltered private courtyard, where access to secure bike storage is provided under the bridge above. The first floor deck & bridge connects the kitchen to the terraced garden that stretches back up the hill behind. These connections with landscape and ground allow each space its own identity and unique experience.

Warmth, efficiency & healthy sustainable materials have contributed to the design & underpin the selections shown.
