Fit to nature and fiddlesticks to fashion.
Design for low-cost house fitted into native bush in Auckland, New Zealand.
North elevation.
Ref: In the Nature of Things H&B Dec/Jan. PS
The site was an east-sloping, awkwardly-shaped section which had been left unoccupied. Regenerating native bush, however, showed promise for the future. Kauris, miros, tanekahas, taraires, and lancewoods were quickly developing under a kanuka canopy. The decision was made to meld the design into this setting to provide private living concentrating on warmer *human* qualities. Modular planning was accurately measured to ensure as many trees as possible were saved to provide an atmosphere of living right in the bush.
The house steps gently down following the ground, with monopitch tiled roofs floating above. The central *room* is a courtyard deck wrapped by *bi-nuclear* planning --- day living on the higher side, sleeping below, and an entry/glazed link. A verandah steps down the long sunny (north) face showing in this early drawing, providing deck spaces to dining, living and bedrooms. A series of French doors and sitting rails further enable a close indoor/outdoor living style to suit the Auckland climate. A relaxed atmosphere results, but without disorder. Pottery bird-feeders and native creepers provide all the decoration necessary.........contd in a couple of photos........

...The interior is clean and simple with wood finishes and warm-white walls contrasting with the weathered exterior. (Coconut image.) Daylight is not only filtered through the trees and windows, but also comes softly from above.
Materials are: reverse board-and-batten, tight-knots cedar weather-boarding, charbrown concrete tiles with special light-edge details, acrylic and double-glass rooflights, bronze aluminium and rimu/cedar external joinery, exposed Douglas fir rafters with moulding-grade pine tongue-and-groove ceiling lining, and brick open fireplace......contd .......
