1For couples and smaller households who want
architectural character in a compact footprint
Considered in every square metre, The Tairua brings open-plan living beneath a distinctive gable, creating a home that feels light, spacious and easy to live in.
The Tairua 143 shows what a smaller home can be when every square metre is considered. A 25-degree gable rises over the open-plan living heart, with generous glazing framing the deck and patio beyond. Compact in footprint, but not in feeling.
The living end brings the kitchen, dining and lounge together under the gable form, opening through sliders to the outdoors. The master suite sits on the same wing with a walk-in wardrobe and refined ensuite. Two more bedrooms and a main bathroom sit opposite, with an internal garage and integrated laundry keeping the practicalities close to hand.
Its mixed gable-and-mono form gives The Tairua clear architectural character without demanding unnecessary scale. A strong starting point for couples, downsizers and smaller families who want a refined home that can be shaped around their site.
