Located in Ōtātara, Invercargill, this home is defined by a pair of gabled forms connected by a low-pitched link roof, creating a welcoming entry and a distinctive architectural expression. A palette of dark-painted Axon Panel and natural cedar weatherboards provides texture and contrast, with cedar detailing continuing into the interior to create a cohesive connection between inside and out. Designed for modern family living, the home balances practicality with character. A well-glazed northern façade maximises natural light and passive solar performance, while exposed concrete floors add warmth and thermal mass. Carefully considered details, including a concealed snug entrance and hidden bar, bring character and individuality to the home.
