2For couples and families who want a compact home
with a strong connection to the outdoors
Formed around two connected volumes and a landscaped central space, The Muriwai draws natural light and outdoor connection into the everyday flow of the home.
The Muriwai 172 pairs architectural form with everyday liveability. Two connected forms frame a home with a landscaped heart, drawing natural light and outdoor connection into the daily flow from the moment you arrive.
The living wing opens through generous glazing to the central connection, with an open-plan kitchen, dining and living space anchored by a concealed scullery. The bedroom wing sits opposite, with three double bedrooms including a private master suite with walk-in wardrobe and refined ensuite. A gallery and considered access points link the two wings while keeping the sense of separation intact.
The dual-form character creates a home that feels more generous than its 172m² footprint. Natural light flows through the central connection, and the compact form settles comfortably into rural, lifestyle-block and coastal sites.
