The envisioned residential design harmonizes with the existing natural context, preserving the hill’s environment and the neighborhood’s character.

Spatial arrangement and volumes have been meticulously aligned with the sun’s trajectory and accessibility.

The path of the sun has significantly influenced the positioning of the bedrooms at elevated levels, while ensuring a scenic vista towards the dining area, living space, and terrace.

The proposed concept seamlessly merges with the landscape, embracing both the mountainous and urban aspects.

The ambiance of the location, the evocation of a journey through the home, and the seamless connection with the outdoors are all integral elements.

This design tackles the challenge of a sloped terrain to recreate a natural setting reminiscent of New Zealand’s landscapes, seamlessly integrating it with the client’s vision—a journey that emulates the experience of traversing a trail.

The concept emerges from both the client’s requirements and the site’s inherent characteristics, fusing tangible and pre-existing natural elements within the surroundings.

This amalgamation includes features like the cityscape vista, the preexisting greenery, and the authentic fragrances of the locale.

Much like embarking on a journey, the flow throughout the house mirrors an replicate a natural journey.
