Set on a lifestyle block on the outskirts of Morrinsville, this single-storey residence is designed as a confident, grounded interpretation of contemporary rural living. With four bedrooms and three bathrooms, the home is carefully planned to support both family life and entertaining, all within a relaxed and highly functional layout.

The architecture references traditional rural forms through a simple gable roofline, reinterpreted with a more modern sensibility. A bold material palette of black brick, vertical white weatherboards, and timber weatherboards creates contrast and rhythm across the façade, while a dark metal roof anchors the composition and gives the home a strong, settled presence within the landscape.

At its heart, the design is focused on lifestyle and connection to the outdoors. A generous covered outdoor living area, complete with an outdoor fireplace, extends the main living spaces and creates a natural gathering point for year-round use. This flows seamlessly toward the swimming pool, reinforcing the home’s relaxed, resort-like feel.

A separate louvred covered area provides a more private outdoor retreat, perfectly positioned for a spa and sheltered relaxation, adding another layer of flexibility to the outdoor living experience.

Practicality is equally considered, with a large garage and integrated workshop supporting rural living needs without compromising the overall architectural clarity. The result is a robust yet refined home that balances traditional form, modern detailing, and a strong emphasis on outdoor lifestyle.
