Country House
House + Home – 2021
Nestled amongst established trees on a rural site in Gisborne sits a large family home that we call Country House.
The five-bedroom home – built for a young family – has been positioned to create a connection with the surrounding open landscape. An extensive timber deck wraps the north side of the house to create inviting outdoor areas that can be enjoyed year-round, with recessed spaces to protect from prevailing winds.
The house stands proudly on an idyllic rural section with a strong and contrasting material palette. The crisp white finish and natural texture of Immenso Carlo brick cladding are offset beautifully with black profiled metal roofing and Rylock aluminium window frames.
Inside the home, a beautiful large kitchen – designed by DStevens – creates abundant space for the family to gather and entertain. Engineered stone benchtops with subtle accents of brass tapware and handles create a timeless aesthetic.
Scale is celebrated within these open-plan living spaces. Large windows and doors provide natural daylight and connection to the outdoors, giving an overall sense of lightness throughout the house. Expressed ceiling frames and a barn-style sliding door also provide reference to the rural setting of this home. Elsewhere, a refined colour palette and metallic finishes complement each room.
With five bedrooms, three bathrooms, an open-plan kitchen, dining and living with a separate formal lounge, and a connected garage – the layout of this home is both spacious and well-planned.
