A modest family home nestled amongst the foothills of the Port Hills in Heathcote Valley- a rebuild option for clients determined to stay within their community after the 2011 earthquakes.

The brief was for a family home that would capture sun, take advantage of the valley views and establish a strong connection to the surrounding outdoor spaces and greenery.

The house, like the section, is naturally orientated west towards the valley. The northern end of the house was purposefully designed as a ‘glass house’ to capture light- the generous roof overhangs provide shade as well as giving an illusion of the house disappearing into the tree tops beyond. A double height space is also located behind the ‘glass house’ portion of the house allowing natural daylight to filter into the first floor common areas.

The simple floor plan accommodates an open plan living on the ground floor which via a band of sliding doors flows out onto an expansive floating deck- creating easy indoor outdoor flow. The connection to the surrounding landscape is achieved on the first floor via a longitudinal stretch of windows along the bedrooms offering magnificent views across the valley.

The house also offers multi-purpose shared spaces perfect for family life. Tucked away at the southern end of the ground floor, in contrast to the rest of the open plan living spaces, is a cosy snug which is divided from the rest of the open plan living with a feature double sided fire. The bedrooms on the first floor also open into a rumpus or play room and on the northern end of the first floor the open study looks over the light-filled void below.

The house is a good example of what can be achieved with a modest budget and well thought-out economical design.

The house has been designed to take advantage of natural sunlight and ventilation.

The floor plan has been thought-out to allow maximum natural light into the open plan living areas- roof overhangs, sized to suit each façade, also protect the spaces from too much solar gain so the house does not over heat.

The house is also able to naturally ventilate with the open connections (stair well & void) from the ground to the first floor. Hot air that rises is able to escape the house via opening windows in the first floor common areas.
