Designed as a generational build on a 26-hectare rural property in Hunua
Sky High sits on a 26-hectare rural property in Hunua, bordering the Wairoa River. A working farm, an elevated building platform on the rise of the land, and a brief with a quiet generational note: the home is being built by the property owners for their adult children to move into. Refined, but rooted.
A single-storey linear form arranged around an open-plan living wing and a private bedroom wing. Around 230m² of considered scale rather than sprawl, with generous glazing capturing the rural outlook in every key room.
A central wood-burning fireplace anchors the living space, with a concealed scullery behind the kitchen and a master suite that includes a walk-in wardrobe and ensuite. A double garage and separate covered carport handle the practicalities of life on a working rural property. Vertical timber cladding picks up the considered signature the brand carries through every home.
The client is taking careful consideration to tailor this home to their needs. With their adult children being the lucky ones who get to experience the end result.
