Wharetutu Homestay   | 

The design of this house allows for homestay occupation, whilst maintaining privacy for the owner.

It is sited on a ridge running mainly north-south. The design provides a one room wide linear plan that steps along the ridge and presents westerly views of the Mount Arthur range to all rooms.

The house plan steps as it runs down the ridge allowing the majority of rooms to have windows to the north and also provides sheltered corners for outdoor terraces.

The building form is reminiscent of agricultural buildings, reflecting the rural aspect of the site. The main forms of the house are hard edged and crisp, and these are balanced with several sheltered verandah spaces for external living, especially to the west.
