This extraordinary house by Cheshire Architects is filled with dynamic spaces where everything you touch has texture and history.

The brief from the clients was to make a house that could feed 30 but feed none, which has created a house that is both grand and intimate. Cheshire Architects has designed the entire building around a sinuous stone wall that wraps around a courtyard then comes up the hill and into the house.
On one side of the wall is the living area, wrapped in steel and glass with a floating roof and incredible views of the Hauraki Gulf. On the other, private spaces including two bedrooms and a living room – to get to one from the other you pass through a low portal, which emphasises the contrast.
It is an extraordinary house, with dynamic spaces and a play between light and dark, large and small, and where everything you touch has texture and history.
