“Thank you for the lovely home you have designed for us. We have now settled in and visitors without exception have been most generous in their praise.” Elaine & Guy Robertson
Located in amongst rolling hills, this family home is warm and inviting. Its features include slide-away doors that provide a wide opening onto a sheltered internal courtyard.
From the courtyard one can look out through the house to the views of Mount Maunganui while still being protected from winds. The kitchen and living areas open up to the outside making the most of the sun and wrap-around views.
Location: Lot 2 Busby Road, Katikati, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
