Completed in 2019 by Studio 4 Architects, Urban Retreat is a modern family home located in New Zealand. In each room in this house, inhabitants can experience different aspects of the gardens and views.
Design
This house sits in the middle of a built-up residential area, on a large rear section in Ashburton. The design of this house can help it to maximize the relationship with the swimming pool, outdoor living spaces, and gardens.
Details
Stretching along the rear boundary, this house opens up to the northwest facing private gardens, allowing each room to have different aspects of the gardens and views.
Vertical planes of precast concrete panels of the house’s exterior are in contrast with the dark stained vertical shiplap timber cladding.
