Hawke's Bay House
In the beautiful Hawke’s Bay you will find our Hilltop House project, located in the rolling hills above the alluvial Heretaunga plains.
Grounded with an in-situ concrete podium the timber clad first floor living areas are raised up to capture the many varied panoramic views east to the Hawkes Bay coast and west to the Ruahine and Kaweka Ranges. This upper floor contains the main living and bedroom spaces.
Buildings are positioned to frame a wind protected recreation courtyard providing a necessary alternative sheltered living area.
Around every corner is a beautiful vista, and expansive glazing across open living spaces make the most of those views.
A sense of calm and luxury is achieved with a balance of natural materials and a neutral colour palette. Floor to ceiling Travertine is featured in the bathrooms creating tranquil spaces to wind down or gear up for a new day.
This project was shortlisted for a Gisborne & Hawke’s Bay Architecture Award in 2025.
