Hawkesbury Residence Capturing Views Of Wanaka Valley
Capturing the rural landscape of Wanaka
Valley, the Hawkesbury
Residence in Mt Barker, New Zealand, uses the
landscape as an artistic, ever-changing art work as part of its architecture.
Standing at the foot of the hill behind the property, the elongated shape of
the residence allows all spaces to be flooded with the perfect amount of
natural light. Los Angeles-based Marmol Radziner studio have completed this stunning 2,150 square foot
residential project in 2011 and since then, the inhabitants have been enjoying
the modern interiors and landscape beyond, framed by the roof line and cedar
deck.
The interior program encompasses two
volumes – social and private – connected by stairs. The volume containing the
master bedroom and two additional bedrooms, the master and secondary bathrooms
and two side decks sits slightly lower then the social volume. Here, a
beautiful set of side-by-side fireplaces – one in the great room and the other
one on the adjacent outside deck – provide relaxation and peaceful moments. All
spaces are spread over one single story so that the interiors and the front
side pool have unobstructed access to the landscape. Stone walls and timber
details integrate the house in its surroundings, constructing the perfect home
for its owners.
